Paul Krugman is proof that having a Nobel Prize doesn’t necessarily you have anything of value to add to any conversation. Check out this piping-hot take on Democrats vs. Republicans:

Great graphics. US Democrats have gone from being a center-right to a center-left party; the GOP from a right-wing party to an extreme right-wing party, closer to Germany's neo-Nazis than to the global center. https://t.co/srI5taGFCS — Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) June 26, 2019

Think that’s brilliant? Then you’ll love his “further thought” on the subject:

A further thought: it's considered normal for leading GOP figures to call Democrats – barely left of center by international standards – socialists. But everyone in the news media would have a fainting spell if a major Dem called Rs fascists, which is much closer to being true — Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) June 26, 2019

Yes, all the Democratic presidential candidates openly advocating socialist policies are “barely left of center” but Republicans are fascist neo-Nazis.

@DNC merely ' center-left ' as it openly embraces socialism ? god it would be embarassing to be a Princeton alumni — Gin Lane Securities (@GinSecurities) June 26, 2019

That a Nobel laureate takes *this graphic* as confirmation of his own political biases is my everything. — Jon Munce (@jonmunce) June 27, 2019
