Partial List of Political/Ideological Boogeymen

As an addendum to this list . . .

The Left (progressive minds):
  • Voter ID
  • For-profit corporations
  • International trade - when it threatens union jobs
  • Trump (for now at least)
  • Populist uprisings - when they challenge expert consensus
  • Traditional gender attitudes
  • Social media "platforming" - giving voice to messages they don't approve of
The Right (conservative minds):
  • Critical Race Theory (CRT)
  • Illegal immigration - especially those who might use social services
  • International trade - when it threatens national pride
  • AOC (for now at least)
  • Populist uprisings - when they challenge conventional practices
  • Porn
  • Social media "censorship" - exercising discretion within their property rights
