Rather than accepting LGBTQ people, the litmus test became embracing gender transition for kids, mandatory use of \u201cpreferred pronouns\u201d and denial of the obvious facts about trans athletes. <\/p>\n<p>Criticism of law-enforcement excesses morphed into \u201cDefund and Abolish.\u201d Supporting immigration, into outright opposition to any border control.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s to say nothing of free speech. An American left that long cherished it now deems it an insidious form of \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it all comes packaged in fury at anyone who hasn\u2019t gone along, let alone those who dissent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>The screaming over Musk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> acquisition <em>proves<\/em> the contemporary left has no place for someone who believes \u201cin equality and not being an a\u2013hole over trivial things,\u201d as Musk has shown he believes. <\/p>\n<p>Millions of non-billionaire Americans feel the same way, even if the left\u2019s capture of most media obscures that fact. It\u2019s a big reason all the polls show Democrats facing disaster in November: Across all race and class lines, voters reject the far-left lunacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most people in this country don\u2019t intensely hate anyone who mildly disagrees with them.
