You wrote, "People losing their jobs for rather inconsequential comments and opinions." If you have time, could you expound on the connection between that statement and authoritarianism or progressivism. Also, I'm failing to understand how progressive ideas are any way authoritarian. As a progressive, I thought I was supporting equal rights and more inclusivity.

I don't think you directed this comment to me but as a progressive and as a fallible human any idea or group can become authoritarian. I think that is part of the problem with the left today. Trump shows himself to be horrible but that doesn't mean we can't go off the rails.
