I've wondered if political biases are more about consistency than a right or left leaning.
For instance, if I train a LLM only on right-wing sources before 2024, and then that LLM says that a President weakening the US Dollar is bad, is the LLM showing a left-wing bias? How did my LLM trained on only right-wing sources end up having a left-wing bias?
If one party is more consistent than another, then the underlying logic that ends up encoded in the neural network weights will tend to focus on what is consistent, because that is how the training algorithm works.
I'm sure all political parties have their share of inconsistencies, but, most likely, some have more than others, because things like this are not naturally equal.

Really? Seems to me like no one has the singular line on reality, and everyone's perceptions are uniquely and contextually their own.
Wrong is relative: https://hermiene.net/essays-trans/relativity_of_wrong.html
But it seems certain that we're all wrong about something. The brain does not contain enough bits to accurately represent reality.
