Still by far the best concise explication of what has gone wrong with the Democrat Party the last 20 years.

“People on the left once viewed free speech as sacrosanct and championed speaking truth to power. Now they disparage open expression as a danger to democracy and minorities. The aspiration of judging individuals by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin has given way to identity politics and ‘equity’ initiatives that prioritize group interests over individual rights. Women’s rights, previously understood as relating to their oppression on the basis of sex, is now viewed by the left through the lens of gender identity, which gives priority to men who declare themselves to be women. Today’s progressive can’t even tell you what a woman is.

The right may be inconsistent in its support of free speech, individual rights and women’s rights, but the left is consistent in its opposition to all three.”
