When you have this SJW culture who are on a crusade of "this is my opinion. You're going to agree and agree 100% or you're a bigot who belongs with Trump", you shrink the space for people who are caught between that and the Trump-like far-right. You have certain groups and individuals who would normally vote left, but they feel so alienated by this screaming radical Left that Trump honestly looks more appealing.
The thing is... the Social Justice Warrior style 'liberal' of "I'm so offended, agree with me or you're a bigot." Isn't actually liberal at all. Liberal is about liberty.. And wanting people to be silenced because you're offended when people disagree with you isn't pro-liberty; it's ant-liberty. Wanting people silenced is ironically authoritarian. It's less of a 'regressive Left' and more of an 'authoritarian in another form.'
It's like covert Right masquerading as liberal. It's fake hipster liberal, it's "look at me I'm so liberal! Only not really and please shut the fuck up if you disagree with me." liberal. It's pretentious bossy liberal. SJWs aren't liberal at all. They're pseudo-liberal fuckers who wish to silence free speech as they demand their own free speech. It's all about "FREE SPEECH! FREE SPEECH! Unless you say something I don't like in which case I'll tell you you're offensive, have no right to free speech, and that you're encroaching on my free speech and need to be silenced."
I fucking hate them SJW fuckers.
End rant.
My bolding.
This is why this kind of liberal is dubbed the "regressive left".
They're so left wing they're right wing about it.
