People going around spewing bigoted conspiracy theories and lies, claiming it's on behalf of progressive principles they directly undermine.

And they don't even have the cynical excuse of being in politics - they're just random people who act like that because they enjoy it.

Impressionable or less experienced people see that crazy shit and think that's what progressives are about, and it really damages our credibility.
