Iโ€™m not talking professors only. Government bureaucrats at all levels. The tech industry (not the CEOs) who push their politics through speech moderation, etc. Thankfully there is less of that on Substack. The media and entertainment industries. The left heavily influences all of this.

Youโ€™re wrong that freaks on the left donโ€™t have power. They have significant influence over institutions. Why do you think DEI spread like wildfire? Itโ€™s still there.

The power of some professors ainโ€™t nothing compared to Bannon, Miller, Stone, Trump, Vance, etc. this is a false equivalency. Now if Schumer, Pelosi, Harris, etc indulged the far left perhaps. But they actively donโ€™t and reject the extremist kooks on their own team.
