I’ve followed Paglia for quite a few years. She’s an intellectual power house, though, she still hasn’t totally escaped the liberal plantation. She supported Bernie in the primaries and Jill Stein in the general.

I concur. I went back and looked at some of the articles of the campaign she wrote.

It's curious how smart she is on the feminism issue but loved Bernie Sanders. Here's May 2016 story she wrote:

...While it’s both riveting and exhilarating to watch a fossilized American political party being blown up and remade, it’s also highly worrisome that a man with no prior political experience and little perceptible patience for serious study seems on a fast track to the White House...

I never could understand the "lacks political experience" theme.  Getting a skyscraper built in NYC is a monumental political feat.

It's funny how incredibly bright people in academic circles lack common sense on many issues.

She’s also written more honestly about homosexuality than anybody else. She’s virtually the only person who publicly challenges the complete one-sidedness about that subject that one gets in the media.
