A little more:

When liberals twist their own principles, then, they have a binding goal: protect oneself. The Woke schoolyard is competitive and unpredictable. It’s also inconsistent, as when last year’s cultural respect becomes this year’s cultural appropriation. We shouldn’t expect consistency from liberals when they manage such a tense, mercurial environment, or merely seek to survive within it. Biden doesn’t have to be principled. He just has to endure, to go with the Woke flow, reverse course when he must, drift into illiberal words and deeds when necessary, scrap the old civic rules that kept politicians from demonizing a fair slice of the American public.
We now live under a governmental/corporate/digital regime that has shown its willingness to trash the old norms of free speech, freedom of association, freedom of religion, and rights of privacy. Liberals in power will compromise, trim, prevaricate, dissemble, and accuse in order to appease the zealots and keep their posts. America has entered a whole new moral condition, and the sooner conservatives realize it, the better they will fight the ideological war now thrust upon them.

Fishrrman's dialectic:
(a Fishrrman original)
You may not be interested in the politics of ethnicity and race.
But the politics of ethnicity and race are VERY MUCH interested ... in YOU.
