This is, of course, the exact opposite of what happened, but whatever. Musk's gonna Musk.

Feels like linear analysis always relies on cherry-picking of issues.
Depending on which lens you apply and to which topics, the entirety of society could be said to have moved left, right, up, down, in opposite-colored spirals...
Except usury, which is always up, up, up.

There's been a fair bit of analysis done on this. On most metrics US society has moved right, and even the left has moved right. There are always outliers, of course, but that's the general trend and where the mass of the "left" and "right" are.

One of the most legible things about this whole debate is the way that "left" and "right" are constantly framed as social issues, while the economic trends are almost totally ignored.
US has been turbocharging right in the dimensions of usury and financialization for decades.

not just the US. You can see the same thing in most Western societies, just starting from a better place, or moving somewhat slower, or both. Macron just got elected on a promise of increasing the retirement age by 3 years.
