💡 Beyond COVID, this is bigger:
The same dynamic may apply to climate change, disaster response, and other crises. When worst-case scenarios drive policy, public fatigue and fatalism can set in, undermining both experts & policies.

The most important thing to identify here is the strong inversed relationship between “conservative” (moderate) right and “hard” right.

One might think that Conservative parties are a Trojan horse of far right success.

The problem for democracy today is not capitalism; it is a decline in public honesty and civility. But there is an opportunity to revive our sense of national community, if we seize it.

Should you trust these results given that they were generated with LLMs? Broadly yes, but you have to validate every time. GPT-4o 2024-11-20 (which produced the results above) has human-level performance. But the 08-06 version is a stinker and greatly underperformed.
