Author falls into the trap of using “postmodern” to mean “ideas I disagree with.” Glossing postmodernism as “truth-denial” that includes CRT, DEI, racism in policing, literacy education, science funding, COVID policy, etc., etc.

Sorry, but a real intellectual should be able to draw connections between postmodernism (The writings of someone like Derrida, Foucault, Levinas, Lacan—well, all of them are long dead so that might be difficult) and the organizations or people behind each of these disparate policies.

Calling Biden “the first postmodern president” is particularly bizarre.
