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

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

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 ?

That a Nobel laureate takes *this graphic* as confirmation of his own political biases is my everything.
