I agree, it is framed as a problem with Left thought, but all movements have their sacred cows and dogma. Except I don't think nuanced criticism of Trump economic policy is going to result in anything more than being called a soy boy -- they are insensitive to criticism like that. In contrast, academia has long and twisty schemes of thought. But previously if you were 'wrong' you just didn't get any grant money or significant publications and pretty soon you had to leave (if you didn't have tenure, but even if you did you could lose students, lab/office space, favourite subjects). Now, having divergent opinions can result in something akin to bees ejecting an intruder from the hive. I don't believe that this particular case is representative though; far more often it seems like nothing is done.
