A non-divisive issue!
The Federalist has found an issue that DOESN'T divide on party lines or gender lines or racial lines or any lines at all.
In response to Trump's totally fake "proposed" "executive" "order", which hasn't actually happened and won't happen and wouldn't change anything if it did happen, the Harris Poll conducted a survey.
Across all conceivable divides and boundaries, EVERYONE prefers traditional over modern architecture by a solid and constant 70 to 30 margin.
The survey was able to get honest answers because it didn't mention Trump. It just showed paired pictures of actual Federal buildings in both styles, and asked which you prefer.
The only people who like modernist architecture are modernist architects and the government agencies that hire modernist architects. Therefore, government agencies will continue hiring modernist architects to build horrible and useless buildings.
Still, it's genuinely interesting to find a question that hasn't yet been used by "both" "sides" to create the standard divisions. I'm sure "both" "sides" will get in gear now to form up the usual war.
... Come to think of it, The Federalist just DID get in gear, associating normal architecture with Orange Witch Powder. Your turn, D "side"!
