Sigh. This toxic attitude is a major problem, and it focuses on the wrong things. If they themselves are a sex criminal or support it, that's different.

A mere connection by some form of association is not.

You're playing into the political game, and you're loosing us the country.
I hope you are correct. I hope I am helping these people 'loose' [sic] the country. They've had a stranglehold on it since the Carter years.

It's not toxic to notice that our social elites play by a different set of rules, and that they know it, and that they can get away with it.

I think the best forgotten example of this is DNC elites such as Hillary or Barack mingling with Harvey Weinstein and taking his money despite certainly knowing his predilection for sexual coercion. These people love to lecture us about how toxic America is, and how the rest of us need to change, but are completely corrupt and degenerate behind the scenes in order to personally enrich themselves. Getting back to this author, it sure looks like more of the same. Narcissistic lectures about how us rubes need to embrace progress and vote D, while hanging out with pimps for the elite.

People are done with the Western left. Nobody likes them anymore. The party's over.

To be fair, people are also done with the Western right.

Given the left has to keep writing books like this on why you should believe in them and why they should retain their hold on power, I think they're in the more precarious position

Pretty wild hearing about the apocalyptic TV shows the Obamas are producing

They're all afraid, lol

As opposed to the "right" that tried insurrection and supports racism and discrimination? Banning books? Afraid of "gay" or freedom of women's own body?

If you only focus on the extremist people's doing then you're clearly in good company with them.

The Obamas are extremist?

They're pretty mainline liberal. I'd say they're pretty representative.

That said, I'm not sure that I agree with you that child predation is necessary to promote LGBT rights or whatever else you said. I'm not sure why the left thinks they must go hand in hand.
