The left's vision of America, what it was and what it should be, is out of focus; blurred through the lens of hyper-victimization.  Accountability for one's actions, except for those who aren't in lock step with the progressive agenda, no longer exists.  Are we to accept that every progressive, every minority, every woman, every emasculated snowflake on a college campus, is a victim of something (capitalism, patriarchy, white privilege, misogyny, racism, homophobia) or someone (white conservative males), but the underachieving are never responsible for the individual actions/inactions and choices that ultimately led to their underachievement?  Let's blame the very institutions that made the U.S. the greatest nation on earth and punish those who created opportunities for themselves in the first place.
And you wonder why these very people are pushing back?  You wonder why compromise is no longer an option?  What is left to compromise away besides freedom?  Morality?  Salvation?
