I really enjoy the doublespeak of "reality has a liberal bias". I can't think of a more telling and compelling example of the distortion caused by the binary lens of American politics.
It's not just American politics. This stuff is infecting other countries too. Dutch right-wing parties are also becoming increasingly detached from reality. A small one that just doubled in size has a history of embracing every hoax and conspiracy theory they can find, whereas the most realistic and effective housing plans came from a left-wing party. A formerly-respectable conservative-liberal party has made it clear they do not want to work with that particular, and prefer an openly racist party.
