It went into both extremes unfortunately (the other extreme being the rise of militant SJWs).

There's no militant SJWs in the highest political office in the country. There's not even any in Congress.

I think those on the other side of your argument would consider Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be a militant SJW.

People don't understand the meaning of the word "militant" then, because AOC has never participated in arming herself during a protest.

As opposed to say, WA State rep Matt Shea, who was found to be conspiring with militias to start a civil war that would end in a theocracy: https://www.npr.org/2019/12/20/790192972/washington-legislat...

1. Fighting or warring.

2. Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause: a militant political activist.

It seems to apply quite well to some of those SJW types who caused people to quit or get fired, and physically threatened them at the same time (e.g. see Bret Weinstein).

Those on the other side of that argument would consider Woodrow Wilson to be a militant SJW.

Yeah they just control about every university. I'd argue it's even worse to have fanatics control what's supposed to be the most liberal places than to have a clown and moron for a president.

Donald Trump was a democrat for most of his life. The basic tenants of secure borders + protecting american jobs was basically the Democrat platform for most of its existence.

The issue of uncontrolled immigration used to be common ground for the left and the right. For a long time even Bernie opposed it on the grounds that large numbers of low-skilled immigrants were driving driving down wages for the poorest Americans[0].

Yes, its not surprising that big business wants it.

But it is surprising how many "progressives" have been co-opted into F100 talking points, who they claim they oppose.
