Typical. When confronted with civil, legitimate, and nuanced critique of an issue the only thing the critical theorists can respond with is "Racism." Same thing happened to me recently.

Typical. When confronted with civil, legitimate, and nuanced critique of an issue the only thing the critical theorists can respond with is "Racism." Same thing happened to me recently. I used to be a Liberal until they started to come for my white cis heteronormative oppressive ass. What I liked about the Left in the early '00s was that they were the party of reason and evidence, but they have become the monster they so hated and usurped the mantle of chief "head in sand" that I USED to associate with the religiously inspired Right.
I still consider myself center-left/liberal/progressive, but of a Gen-X flavor. it is very disturbing to see what is becoming of "liberalism", but at the same time the Republican Party/Right offers no rational alternatives. Sorry, but Trump, DeSantis, MTG, Gaetz and the rest of the crew, let alone the GOP's still rigid adherence to Reaganomics is not a "political home" for someone who still believes in a rational role for federal regulations, a more or less desire for a universal health care system, rational regulations on gun manufacture and ownership, and who does not want to see religious beliefs legislated against personal choices, and who needs to see some evidence of intelligence and competence in leadership, not weirdo Republican politicians dallying around white nationalism and whose politics extend no further than "owning the libs". Until then, I guess we just circle the drain?
