I’m on the left generally. I’ve lurked here for over a decade because I try to read broadly including people I disagree with. This wing of the left has always been present in academia and it’s one I sharply oppose.
It’s mindblowing to me the dems have now decided to embrace Jeong’s declaration of war on white people and her virulent, hateful, and unproductive take on race issues. If this keeps up Trump will ride the rust belt to reelection and deservedly so. I can’t vote for any politician that doesn’t disavow jeong.
I hope Trump’s 2020 victory shifts the overton window on these issues such that these people are driven from the public space for the next generation.
