    I wish that were true. Unfortunately, you have a large population of liberals who believe “This far left and no further” is a policy they’re willing to see others kill and die for.

    We’ve got a bloc of political consultants who exist to infiltrate and undermine civil movements, a media sphere that propagates all sorts of hysteria around any kind of local leftist control of government or the economy, and a professional managerial class that is all in on a permanent labor underclass they can profitably exploit.

    They’ll wave the rainbow flags and write op-eds about how much they love immigration and wistfully pine for a health care system that’s more affordable, right up until someone suggests their Starbucks Baristas might strike for better benefits. And then its fascism time.
