I mean, that's a little extreme, but I agree with the notion that progressive policies in the US, especially the messaging, are inconsistent and incoherent.
You have to understand that there's a tacit coalition between the center-left and the far left behind the Democratic Party. The center-left is okay with neoliberalism and only moderately socially progressive. The far left is full-blown woke. The far left, to which the postmodernist college faculty belongs, has traditionally been friendly to the USSR, communism, Castro, hate speech against Cuban-Americans and anticommunist Soviet and Chinese immigrants, etc.
So there's a weird paradox whereby Democratic Party figures complain about isolationism and betrayal of America's allies by Trump on one hand, then endorse radical "anti-imperialist" woke activists who are often shameless apologists for Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, etc. There's no coherence. It doesn't make sense.
In reality, half of America is Democratic, half is Republican. We should really learn to get along and just tolerate each other, but we have the mainstream liberals waging cultural warfare against the American heartland, populated by descendants of the most conservative elements from Europe. The far left, instead of being true to its claims of revolutionary ideology, infiltrates mainstream institutions via the center-left. The rightist base in this country is so parochial and hostile to education or the rest of the world that it can't seriously engage in the marketplace of ideas. American conservatives can't fight wokeness successfully because all they care about is what their pastor said or how the stock market's doing or some cringy MAGA meme. Of course your average liberal can't put any intellectual rigor into defending woke ideology, but they parrot arguments made by the likes of Robin DiAngelo and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Your average conservative American hasn't read a word of Thomas Sowell. Sad but true.
On the other hand, the events of January 6, 2021, have taken a lot of steam out of any radical right uprising. Same for Ms. Jewish Space Lasers and her support for Putin. From the left I've heard a lot less whining about "American imperialism" and how horrible this country is since Russia invaded Ukraine, and the Islamist regime in Iran's massacres of the Iranian people. Maybe somehow, something good might actually come out of this.
