A surprisingly fair and balanced article. These things jumped out at me:

[Progressives don't express]... so much genuine concern for social justice as the preening display of cultural superiority.
"We're better than you are, nyah nyah nyah!"

...politically engaged, highly educated, left-leaning Americans—the kinds of people, in other words, who are in charge of universities, edit the nation’s most important newspapers and magazines, and advise Democratic political candidates on their campaigns.

Could that explain why Dems are losing support?

A publication whose editors think they represent the views of a majority of Americans when they actually speak to a small minority of the country may eventually see its influence wane and its readership decline.

That is a good thing!

We'll just pretend that rhetoric intended to turn one group against another group, doesn't exist.

If a shoe doesn't have a name, it's still something intended to go on your foot.

What are incompatible groups doing under the same jurisdiction to begin with is the question no one ever asks.

That's not what this debate is about for me.

For me it's about countering the claim that hate speech doesn't exist -it's a sentiment, and whether or not that sentiment has a name, won't change it.

And I asked you what can or should be done about sentiment. Applied fairly and logically that would be the end of Democrat politics.

Well you're the own that said divisive speech and sentiment can't be tolerated.

You did so, "sentiment" and "speech intended to divide one group against the other", and about violently resisting said speech and sentiment.
