Peterson never comments directly on political events and doesn’t reveal anything about his economic beliefs nor does he declare he’s one thing or the other.
The left doesn’t like him because he describes, psychologically and scientifically, what exactly is wrong with SJWs thinking, and the evil of post-modern social sciences.
So he’s really attacking the philosophical basis for most Leftist thought, and does so very intelligently and logically.
Much of his power as a thinker comes from the fact that he isn't a partisan. He just lets the facts speak for themselves.
Actually, facts and common sense aren't partisan either. And he is using them to destroy all kinds of stupid human thought.
It just so happens that the great preponderance of stupid thought comes from the left.

Bullseye.
He does it very well.
Consider: America: Grounded On Experience & Reason.

Very well stated.
I would add. Peterson does more than “describe, psychologically and scientifically, what exactly is wrong with SJWs thinking”, he gets in their head before they ever have a chance at a rebuttal.
He knows what they are thinking and what drives their beliefs well before those thoughts are ever stated. He states them before they do and then destroys those ideas before they can ever get started.
It’s infuriating to the left.
FWIW, it’s also a very successful sales tactic. State their objection before they do and overcome that objection so you can take it off the table and move on.
The Leftist doesn’t process information in the same way as Conservatives.
Conservatives will make general assumptions and work through a logical process of elimination until they reach a conclusion or position that may or may not be finalized.
The Leftist starts with a conclusion that is a necessary component of their worldview, their foundation of belief. Any new information the leftist is exposed to will either conform to their presuppositions or will be rejected as a personal attack on their freedom.
