Many on the Latte Left facilitated this new era of fascist censorship. Remember when people didn’t care that folks who were accurately assessing the situation between Ukraine and Russia were targeted and silenced?

    I’m tired after a long day of work, so I may be missing something, but…

    If there’s no actual left in the U.S., then how can leftists be to blame for laying the groundwork for anything?

      While in the big picture they are conservative, they still are referred to as the left in the US due to the other party being more conservative. Basically it’s conservative vs more conservative, but by classifying them as left provides the illusion of having liberal and conservative political options.

        Which rather bolsters my observation that the author isn’t really talking about real people that exist, just the imaginary leftists that Republican politicians love to blame.
