Wow this thread is confusing lol. >So when you said "I think a lot of other people are hypocritical in the opposite direction" did you mean that Democrats focus too much on ideological justification and consistency instead of being pragmatic, or that their ideological focus on justification and consistency leads them to "play by the rules" against a pragmatic GOP opponent that isn't themselves bound by such notions? Neither. When I said that sentence, I was replying to mixologist. I thought mixologist was saying that it's inconsistent for the GOP to promote states rights for women's regulation health but not for AI regulation. I was saying that if that's an inconsistency, then there's a similar inconsistency (but in the opposite direction) with people who promote states rights for AI regulation but not for women's health regulation, and I thought that was the position mixologist held. Maybe I misunderstood what mixologist was saying. If mixologist was saying something else, then my comment doesn't make much sense.
