This is a perfect example of "The left eats its own.” It is a common political expression and critique used to describe infighting, purity politics, and the internal criticism that occurs within left-leaning political groups or movements. It suggests that the left is more likely to turn on its own members for perceived ideological impurity or minor disagreements than the right is.

Meaning and Usage

Purity Politics: The phrase often refers to a perceived tendency within the left to engage in "purity tests," where individuals or groups are scrutinized and sometimes ostracized for failing to meet a strict, often shifting, standard of ideological alignment.

Internal Conflict: It highlights the idea that the left is composed of numerous, sometimes competing, interest groups (e.g., trade unionists, environmentalists, LGBT advocates) that struggle to unite, leading to internal conflict over priorities and strategies.

Consequences: The result, as argued by those who use the phrase, can be self-destruction or a loss of focus on a common external opponent, which can weaken the movement's overall effectiveness and ability to achieve power.

Historical Parallel: Some commentary draws parallels to historical revolutionary movements, such as the French Revolution's Reign of Terror or the Russian Revolution, where revolutionaries eventually turned on one another (e.g., the reference to Robespierre and Trotsky).

“Seriously?”

No kidding! Who would write such a play in the first place and who would pay to go see that?

The left killed common human decency and will have none of it. Chenoweth’s experience a perfect example.

I had a brief personal interaction with Kristin Chenoweth on Twitter back when Trump was running in 2016. She was “woke” then, trying to show her bonafides to the left while still maintaining what she thinks is a Christian witness.

I don’t doubt her sincerity, but I do question her grasp of how the world really works.

She is now discovering how hateful the left can be...she showed sympathy for a murdered man and his family, and her homosexual followers have decided to crush her career.

I hope she realizes the truth: her “friends” in the theatre community don’t really like her—they want her to be enslaved to their ideology.
