The rise of the far right is always blamed, by centrist dipshits, on The Left "overreaching" on the things which, coincidentally, annoy centrist dipshists.
I suspect it more has to do with centrist dipshists justifying and rationalizing the far right.
It was centrist dipshits - encouraged by some SBF money - who spent two years going after DEI training as an incredibly important thing voters care deeply about and, well, what happened next.
