As a conservative I stumbled upon the formulation "The radical left are a bunch of bullies" pretty much on my own. Just yesterday I discovered that Jordan Peterson has been using the term. It fits perfectly. But I keep saying to myself, "Surely mainstream America has not completely jettisoned common sense." But as Denise Young Smith found out, things really are as bad we fear. The one thing I still ask myself: Are people (like whoever it is who fired Young Smith) really brainwashed to the extent that it seems that they are? Or is it just the case that they know how the radical left is going to respond so they know they must act or risk an even bigger conflagration? Finally, why hasn't this been flagged? The lefties on Hacker News flag for much lesser offenses...
