Here in Los Angeles, I think the homelessness issue is becoming this way. In liberal circles, one isn't permitted to express disgust with the the encampments taking over sidewalks and making things feel unsafe. I hear politically incorrect frustration anytime I talk with working class people or people outside circles dominated by progressive thinking, like people playing pick-up soccer. I could be wrong, but I think a focus on this issue could give the outsider developer candidate Rick Caruso a path to victory in this fall's Mayoral race over the establishment candidate Karen Bass, who actually seems a normal, reasonable Democrat.

You and your husband are the problem Josh! I kid, but I do think the rapid change in popularity of same-sex marriage has convinced a lot of these activists that their avant-garde ideas are - at worse - not wrong just early. The arc of history and all that. But it’s just not clear to me that “punctuality is white supremacy” and similar exotic views are on any path to popularity.
