Here’s a LWer being very wrong about how US politics work
lesswrong.com/…/we-need-a-better-theory-of-polari…
First warning sign: “the US started becoming polarized with the election of Barack Obama”
“Affordability” won the frame for 2026, and I’m not sure I remember the last time the right talked like they are playing catchup.
uh, are you in your early 20s??? (who am I kidding of course you are)
You’d think bayesians of all people would try to avoid extrapolating from the position smack dab in the middle of a current news cycle

I was going to try and sneer this further but I realized that my own narrative of political polarization almost started with Clinton and I’m in my early 30s, meaning that the problem is obviously whoever the president was when the person making the argument was a child.

basically because the left has out-ridiculous-ed Trump on culture war issues. You can always find a single sentence in a political LW post that shows how much they hate marginalized people.
