‘ Identity politics has moralized ]… ] the Left, painting conservatives as evil rather than wrong’
A professor of politics at the University of Buckingham conducted a poll immediately after the death of Donald Trump and discovered that over 70 % of “hard-line folks” wished the gunman had succeeded.
The , Daily Mail reports that while one-third of Democratic electors who concurred with the speech” light Republicans are bigoted” said they” somewhat agreed” that they wanted Trump dead, about three-fourths” highly agreed”.
Eric Kaufmann, chairman of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science, conducted the” jump” ballot on July 18 and said the results” may be explained by’ woke social absolutism.'”
According to Kaufmann, “identity politics has moralized the Left’s perspective, portraying liberals as terrible rather than wrong.” The Left is “more prejudiced against the Right than the Right”
Kaufmann added that the ballot results reveal a “growing political imbalance” in the United States where progressives are “more likely to key, refuse to date, or otherwise distinguish against conservatives than the other way around.”
This highlights an attitude among lefties that conservatives are ‘ evil rather than wrong, ‘]Kaufmann ] says.
As a result, they use’ catastrophizing speech around’ light supremacy’,’ fascism’ and ‘ danger’,’ he says.
‘ Given our fresh politics of internationalist holiness and spiritual dogmatism, we should not be surprised to see a surge in social extremism,’ he warns.

According to The College Fix, many scientists complained that the murderer had missed the previous president on July 13. Rutgers University’s Tracy Budd had said” This expect today’s events inspire people” and” They shot his hair. Sad”.
Bellarmine University English professor John James posted on Instagram” If you’re gonna shoot, man, do n’t miss”, while the University of British Columbia’s Karen Pinder wrote” Damn, so close. To bad”.
Some were not as strong. The University of Virginia’s Sethunya Mokoko claimed the firing was” dramatics” designed to obtain citizens ‘ sympathy.
USC’s Shaun Harper, who opined that Trump may have claimed” And the Blacks, they love me because they know the terrifying sound of shots”, ended up having his essay on Forbes ‘ website deleted.
And NYU’s Ruth Ben-Ghiat worried Trump would use the death attempt to open up the “authoritarian rulebook” equivalent to Castro, Mussolini, and … Hitler.
Professor Kaufmann ( pictured ) only recently began his stint at U. Buckingham after far-leftists “had poisoned the experience” for him at Birkbeck, University of London. He added that he was turned down by cancel culture and drawn to the chance to contribute to Buckingham’s status as the only “free talk university” in the country.
