WAPO: GOP members sent rape threats to Cassidy Hutchinson after her testimony

45. I may have to copy this to an easy-to-find location, since this confusion seems to be widespread.

Left and right are not actually political positions, but economic ones.

There is anothe dimension to politics - it is Autocracy and Democracy. In order to easily compare this with lrft and right, you can think of this dimension as up and down and make a graph of it. Any one can be anywhere on that graph

Hutchinson is on the good side in terms of form of government. She is on the wrong side economically. So is Liz Cheney, incidentally.

While I too feel emotionally that left and democracy go together, and right ans autocracy go together, that's just a feeling. The fact is that they don't necessarily.

This combination may feel weird, but it isn't. There are many people in this category. If we are going to meet them where they "are at," we need to learn to separate the two in our minds.

We don't need to get them to move left. We need to get them to realize the difference between the two divides, and that they are already on the right side of one of them, and that that one was what this last election was actually about.
