Meghan Daum's 3-16-18 L.A. Times article ("A New Movement to Speak Truth to Identity Politics Is Our Best Hope Against Regressive Thinking") should be read in conjunction with Bari Weiss' 3-7-18 New York Times article entitled "We're All Fascists Now":
Here's a relevant excerpt from Daum's recent L.A. Times article:
"The essence of the movement, as I see it, is having the courage to stand
up to groupthink, even if it means losing friends or having your
positions willfully misconstrued because they don't fit neatly in a
particular ideological box. It's not about liberals beating up on
liberals but, rather, understanding that the same tribalism and
regressive thinking that is damaging the Republican Party, perhaps
beyond repair, is also wreaking havoc on Democrats and their allies.
It's about smart people asking other smart people to stop acting so
stupid.”
