It is hard to destroy your own cause and feel righteous while doing so, yet the American left has done it. After more than two centuries at the vanguard of the struggle for freedom, the American left, broadly defined, executed a volte face and embraced anti-working-class policies marketed as purely technical public health measures.
For two years the left has championed policies of surveillance and exclusion in the form of: punitive vaccine mandates, invasive vaccine passports, socially destructive lockdowns, and radically unaccountable censorship by large media and technology corporations.

“calumniate” “ verb 1. make false and defamatory statements about “
I don’t think I ever saw this word before.
There are a lot of words in the English language.

KKK.
Jim Crow laws from 1865 to 1965.
Family destroying welfare regulations since 1965.

One look at 0bama's infamous birthday party will illustrate that perfectly.
So the new boss definitely resembles the old boss, and it's been that way for a long time.

How the organized left used covid and succeeded
I saw this last night but was too tired to read it.
