You should go out and talk to people outside of your bubble then. Go somewhere that isn't as left. Go have a conversation with a normal person who is just trying to live their life in a city that isn't majority blue.

Attributing qualities and intentions to someone you do not know is not a constructive way of having a meaningful discussion.

Did you just define "normal person" as someone who lives in a non-diverse environment?
Before you get angry, go read your sentence again, at how you used "normal person". What does that say about those of us who live in places with more social diversity? That we're not "normal"?
It is easy to understand, but there is not consensus that the meaning should have been changed. Nor is there consensus on what "power" means.
Academics may have a good need for that distinction, but they made the mistake of overloading the word.
