starts and the twitter mobs come. don't misunderstand, i'm not covering for the haters on either side, i think there needs to be middle ground. but that space keeps getting uncomfortably more they're low. and don't overlook the political cost to the censors. the next time the left is going to brow beat a yale student over a party invite or cancel a speech or get rid of the volunteers at a museum or take down the statue of thomas jefferson they might want to think twice. because the accumulated weight of all of these stories becomes a great political motivator for the right which leads me to the survey question @smerconish.com. which party benefits from this. the cancel culture and disputes? republicans or democrats? go answer, i'll give you the result later. now, to the berkeley story
