        The reason this is happening now is that Trump is president. The reason Trump is president is because the left is weak.

        Hey man. I'm only looking at the the flags they're carrying and what they're saying. But obviously the liberals are the real problem here.

        Yes. Liberals should abandon the ideals of truth, humanity, and justice because the Klan doesn't like it

        Liberals in the mid 20th century were just as idealistic as those today. But they were far more effective.

        Expected reactions: "Identity politics did not work, we should have more of it !"Backfiring often misinterpreted as "not tried hard enough"☹

        Utter enabling drivel. Nazis and Confederates are pure race politics. Are you suggesting that we ignore this?

        In 60s, intellectuals begin to lean left--away from conservative dogma; now, they're beginning to lean right--away from postmodern dogma.

        Of course. Blame the liberals who strive for inclusion. It couldn't have anything to do with the Faustian bargain the Rs made 40 years ago

        Only thing that is going to solve this is ten more years of patronizing and deliberately insulting thinkpieces about straight white males
