Eh.  I think most people get hung up on politics are supporting their team while vilifying the other one.  Both parties have held power over the last 50 years though - our issues aren’t specific to the philosophy of either party.  The issue is that the generally accepted ideas of how an economy works are wrong in ways that means every action creates multiple new issues.  People who think electing the “right” politicians is the solution aren’t even in the neighborhood of an actual solution.

That should be the terrifying takeaway - based on our presuppositions about the way the economy works, all rational decisions made by either (possibly any) party leads to ruin.  If we don’t reexamine our presuppositions, we’re screwed.

“The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else.” - John Maynard Keynes

PS - There’s always a silver lining in every cloud.  Syracuse reducing seating capacity so they could increase revenue overall was driven by the mentality in the article.  So the upside is we got seatbacks at the Dome and can be more comfortable watching games until the collapse.
