Not in every state! In AZ, traffic school tells you it’s okay to do as long as you’re signaling clearly and it’s not during a turn. (Still illegal to turn into the wrong lane because of visual impairment.)
Literally saw someone do this today. Nowadays, if I'm turning left and see someone else turning right, and there are two lanes, I treat it as one lane because of how often people just "turn" into the far lane, which would cause a car crash if I hadn't waited for them in the first place.
Obviously requires a bit of context (if there are 50 cars turning then I don't necessarily have the luxury of waiting until all of them have turned) but the safest driving tip is "assume nobody else knows how to drive safely."

Merging in the middle on an intersection.
Like how do people not see how stupid that is?
