I think this is disingenuous, to an extent. There was support from both parties for these things, but hardly in equal measure. The ACA is the most obvious example.
"Both parties are too similar on some issues" is too frequently conflated with "both parties are the same". The latter argument is too simple to be true.
Yes, my bad, no Repubs voted for the ACA. But now, it's a good example of the Dems reducing civil liberties.
The parties are the not same on what regulations they want to increase and which civil liberties they want to decrease.
But as far as scope of civil liberties and size of gov't, I would say they're the same.
It only makes sense to me that 99% members of the gov't want to keep their racket going.
