Is it? Because I feel like I've been seeing this "turn our backs" attitude for at least 10 years, and by the article's own admission, it doesn't seem to have affected any of the "bad" people mentioned in the article in anyway.
Perhaps a change of tack is in order.
Ok. Here's the line.
Leftie types have played fast and loose with language, rules, behavior and decency. All in the name of role playing the empathetic enlightened intellectual who would never commit the egregious sins of the past.
In doing so, they've been racist against whites, sexist against men, homophobic towards LGBs, fascist against COVID skeptics, naive regarding intellectual frauds, apologetic about criminals, and pliant towards manipulative bullies.
While this was going on, left wing activists and organizations have installed themselves as the defacto moral authority and channeled enormous amounts of other people's money to their comfortable faux rebellion.
Now enough people are wise to that that this will not work anymore. The magic words have no power. Their reputations are sinking. The cry-bullying is despised. And the funding is drying up.
The absolute worst part is that they still can't for the life of them tell you what their opponents actually believe, even if you held a gun to their head. Because they're mediocrities and lightweights parroting ideas, as narrow-minded as the caricature they have of others.
Bye.
