Now it seems that the middle is gone from the Leftist point of view. You are either all on their side or all the other. Or they will "cancel" you.
I went college in the 80’s and fortunately fell in with a gang of guys who were as conservative as I was. My Dad was a Goldwater conservative before Goldwater. This group I took classes with enjoyed needing instructors for their attempts at indoctrination. We were lucky they didn’t retaliate on our grades.
We were in a history of central and South America class one day with a lib instructor and we’re going to be discussing Mexico. We talked before class and decided to have some fun with it and he talked about the Mexican-American war and one of us pipped up and said we screwed up in that war and the instructor was all smiles, I’ve done it to another class and then another guy in the group said yeah we screwed up giving Mexico back to the Mexicans, should have kept it. I thought the instructor was going to stroke out. At that point I said we could have have 65-75 more states and Mexico wouldn’t be a third world disaster. The instructors mouth fell open and he was just babbling at us trying to respond, it was hilarious.
