If I was a lefty politician, I would be very concerned about the Dem/Lean Dem response to the question about “Government is almost always wasteful and efficient”.
45%!!!
I bet if they slightly tweaked the question to “...frequently wasteful and inefficient” it would be over 50%.
Those graphs suggest that the liberals are insulating themselves in bubbles, further and further removed from reality. They also seem to be uneducated, in a very real sense. Where the purpose of education has traditionally been to develop critical thought, modern universities have been moving away from that model.
Truly thinking people would be able to look at, for example, the poverty programs, and ask themselves if the current system is achieving the stated goals. Objectively, it is not. A critical analysis suggests that the current system should be scrapped and something else tried, preferably informed by empirical evidence. But that’s not what liberals do. Their go-to solution is invariably to throw more money at the problem—oh, and punish the rich. There is almost no liberal ideology that supports the role of empirical evidence in solving problems.
Where did that come from. Blue lines are to be expect, however, many of the red lines look way too low!
