Angry centrist here too, Adrienne Scott! I'll cite Ruy Texeira on the "Fox News Fallacy": just because the authoritarian right is a threat to democracy doesn't mean there's no such thing as an authoritarian left.

And yet, Joe Biden is the President, BBB failed, and police budgets were increased. The people you're taking about have gotten basically nothing they were after. So, the question then becomes, *what more do you want?* Why are you, who has the whole apparatus of the Democratic party leadership catering to your desires, so angry? At this point, the only thing the "authoritarian left" is doing is saying mean things. That somehow makes them just as dangerous as the authoritarian right, who tried to stage a coup, and are planning to do it again?
Sherm: I was on the mall on January 6 as a researcher, so you don't need to convince me about the right. If you don't think there's any problem in universities, newsrooms, and other cultural institutions, that's ok by me. I'm not arguing this point with anyone. I'll just say that on this, Charlie is correct.

How is "wokeness" in those spheres today any different than "political correctness" 30 years ago?
