Indeed.

And I would even suggest it's worse than that insofar as there are people who had comfortably identified as "of the Left" who find themselves scandalized by what has been going on. I'd be willing to nominate folks like John Waters (an Old School lefty Irish journalist) or Russell Brand as candidates. And then you have folks like Matt Taibbi or Glen Greenwald finding themselves despairing of the authoritarianism of the establishment. Gosh, even Bari Weiss got up in front of the Federalist Society and speculated that "Maybe Trump was right," (about a broad range of issues).
