> increased government intervention is not
Seems like a weird, pedantic half-truth. It's like "I'm not a racist, but ..." except for government. "I don't want increased government intervention... except for the areas of healthcare, housing, education, guns, the economy, free speech, religion, banking, labor, technology and a few dozen other areas, those I do want increased government intervention in".
I get that it doesn't come from "I love authoritarianism and want more of it" but the practical end is the same when the solution to every problem is "More government regulations or interventions"
- edmundsauto 6y agoFor quite a few of the items in your list, the solution from liberals tends to be "Different government regulations" or "Different beneficiaries of government regulations". Which is quite different from more government.
