Somewhat similar. I'm technically highly liberal (I maxed out as a dem donor in a number of races). We are told inflation is passing or a temporary blip by the top econ people in govt. Meanwhile, wage pressure, housing price pressures and more are through the roof. We are told that a portfolio of stocks that invests even in part in fossil fuels is doomed (economically) even though it is a scarce commodity from many volatile regions and that evidence is that ESG wildly outperforms. We are told climate change is the biggest threat, but efforts to solve it are largely forbidden (ie, no nuclear) unless they involve massive sacrifice instead of innovation. We are told it is critical to ban a plastic straw in a restaurant that goes in the garbage but that the tons of trash literally blowing into the ocean from folks in RV's along the water who can't be bothered to throw trash into the cans right there is OK and there should be no consequence. We are told our new LED bulbs won't ficker or buzz when dimmed and will last our lifetimes. Masks won't protect us supposedly from an AIRBORNE virus. A higher risk of arrest by younger men for things like murder is a sign of discrimination against young men, vs any chance of a difference in underlying incidence of murder by young men. We are told Hunter Biden has acted with integrity, that the details of corrupt chinese payments on a laptop are "Russian Disinformation". Um - no. Our kids don't get invited to be on boards of companies they have no experience with, even though they didn't have issues with drugs and are good students. The issue for me is that you don't need to have any knowledge of science to see just HUGE internal inconsistencies in a lot of the "preaching" we receive. This results in a massive reduction of confidence in authority which is a big negative to the liberal movement in my view which is supportive of a bigger role of govt in our lives.
