> Effective at concentration camps, or supreme-court packing?
Like Guantanamo or what the GOP is currently doing (e.g., not giving Garland hearings "because it is too close to the election")?
Government, and political opportunists, can be effective in both good and bad policies/actions.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoI'd blame those things on the Democrats too. You can't keep cheating and cheating, and then whine that the other side started cheating too just to keep up with you. Obama even had the opportunity to close Guantanamo. Didn't consider it important enough to waste the political capital on. Was more concerned about his team retaining power than doing the right thing. > Government, and political opportunists, can be effective in both good and bad policies/actions. Effectiveness is only ever used with bad policies. I don't know that I've even come close to figuring out the mechanism for it, but there is one that inevitably tips effectiveness towards ends malevolent. If you were to plot out historical leaders for how effective they were on some sort of spectrum, and then plot them out for how evil they were, it'd be the same spectrum.
