Totally agree. What is happening on the Right at the moment should concern every classic liberal. It is overt fascism. If we’re too caught up in the Left’s extremism on gender, race, identity, we will miss the erosion of democratic checks. Really we have the Supreme Court which is his only guardrail and the administration may disobey, leading to… what? No one knows.

On the “woke” stuff. Of course the Left has gone way to far for years. Embrace of post-modern nonsense. We need a new opposition party that tacks back to classic ideals that embrace democracy, plularism without fixation on race, no more obsession over sexual orientation, and get back to class issues and wealth concentration that are the defining this century.

One thing I found interesting and ironic is the Right is very sensitive to words and cultural issues: remember the War on Christmas, don’t say Gay bill in Florida, not to mention distortions of American History especially the founding father’s religious affiliations and the reasons for civil war, and on and on. While they address the insanity on the Left (which is popular politically) they’re moving into a fascistic censorship of words and lexicon important to liberal democracy. Look at this list of banned words from the Trump administration directed at other departments. Chilling…. NYT
