It's not the policy position or the goal that is the problem. It's the way it is addressed. Screaming RACIST and HOMOPHOBE and ISLAMOPHOBE when a person dares to utter a critical word fixes nothing. It only creates and exacerbates resentment and division, bringing us "leaders" like Trump as a reaction.I see it. I just don't much care. These culture wars are always happening. Just like the left fueled the rise of the racist republican party by driving southern whites to them with support for CRAZY PC STUFF like interracial marriage and basic rights for brown people and women.
I can call out nuttery as I see it. But be careful what you say, because you can get close to saying that American progressives should allow themselves to be held hostage by 30% of the population who might get grumpy.
It's the same thing as the Right screaming COMMIE and SOCIALIST and EVIL at anyone who doesn't bend over for the Orange High Hard One. These kind of tactics improve nothing, they solve nothing, they fix nothing. They're meant to put the target on the defensive and avoid honest conversation.
