Five converging issues

Adherents of the political ideology that considers themselves socialists, democratic socialists, woke, progressive, social justice warriors have achieved gains that were unimaginable at the beginning of the 20th century.  The following five issues are converging to fracture the collation that has supported this ideology.

1. Transgender militancy.  Young children diagnosed with "gender dysphoria" are now prescribed hormone blocking therapy or gender reassignment surgery, sometimes over the objections of one or both parents. Men using women's restrooms.  Men competing in women's sports.  Lowell Collegiate, and then there is this: Members bar

2. Support for Hamas.  The largest donors to the left have traditionally been Jewish.  Even though many in the Jewish community do not support Zionism or the current war in Gaza, very few members of that community will provide financial support to organizations openly support Hamas and the destruction of Israel.  DSADSA LayoffsHarvard

3. Immigration.  Immigration has exploded into a fiery debate in the "sanctuary cities".  Black citizens are outraged that new immigrants are receiving tax funded benefits and resources.  Chicago

4. Inflation. Average ticket price paid for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour was $3,801.00.  Average ticket price paid for Super Bowl 58 was $8,600.00.  The assets owned by the Federal Reserve have increased from $475 billion in 2008 to $4.7 trillion today.  The money supply (M2) has increased from $7.5 trillion in 2008 to $20.8 trillion today.  Taylor SwiftSuper Bowl 58, Fed AssetsM2, and then there is this: Hyperinflation

5. Lawfare.  The use of the legal system to persecute political opponents is becoming obvious to even the casual observer. A loser stateFocus on Texas & Florida
