2. There is one thing in this presentation that I object to.

I really object to the depiction of leftists as radicals. Our country has been dragged so far to the right of the political spectrum, that people who advocate social justice for groups that have historically been and are currently being oppressed and discriminated against are depicted as radicals. Wanting to change the structures that contribute to injustice does not, IMNSHO make anyone a radical. I think that the people who are actively trying to restore and shore up the structures of oppression and discrimination are the radicals. They want to drag us all into the misery of the past, where women, IPOC, and the economically disadvantaged are held down for the direct benefit of the uber rich. And, they want to create a theocracy, which violates the Bill of Rights. I wish them utter and complete defeat in their quest to drag us all back to medieval serfdom.
