White Progressives Are Polarizing America

[American]

It's not unlike 'communist/socialist/Marxist' and all the other sundry forms of idiotic neo-McCarthyism among the right.

Which makes it ironic how the Left is trying to turn Trump into a communist, or at least a sympathizer.

Your post did not deserve any better.

And the thoughtful interaction continues.

The left doesn't need to help Trump out himself as a commie sympathizer. Just listen to the Helsinki press conference ( for one example ) and listen to Trump out himself as a commie sympathizer.

This piece by David French discusses a Gallup study on shifting Democratic ideology and data suggesting that left-wing polarization is "primarily driven by a “progressive activist” class that is disproportionately white, disproportionately college-educated, and disproportionately secular," and
argues that:

And ironically enough, a large part of this angry white activism is conducted on behalf of a black and brown population that is more moderate and more religious than their woke white champions. At a time when being a “white savior” is seen as a mark of insensitivity — denying the power and autonomy of nonwhite Americans — white savioring is practically the mission statement of woke Twitter.

Nothing I say should be construed to minimize the polarization inherent particularly in Republican populism and a Trumpian political strategy that so often depends on demonizing his opposition and doing his best to inflame his base (I’ve written about the perils of Trumpism at exhaustive length). But those who care about the health of the American republic cannot and must not ignore the fact that our most powerful cultural cohort just keeps radicalizing. And they’re radicalizing in the least tolerant way. American politics are dangerously polarized, and white progressives share a large part of the blame.

My question is this: Is there a point that will prompt push-back?

Say the far right-wing...

Do you ever even THINK about the far right and the damage they have done and are STILL doing to this country?

No, of course not.

All pols can be accused of flip flopping to one degree or another if you chose to.

As to Romney - true not a Goldwater Conservative but definitely not a Progressive Movement follower. Hence, preferable to Obama.

As to Trump - you are confusing Political Party with ideology. And, he to was a fine opposite number to Hillary continuing the Progressive advance by Obama. In deciding on a candidate one would never vote if they needed 100%. You take the best you can get from the choices offered.

Thanks for proving my point.
