I know.
Most people see it. Few, except the opposition, point to it as a negative.
Partly because they become the opposition by pointing to it. Anyone bothered by the change regardless of their standpoint of taxes, regulation, and public services are labeled right wing and pushed to admit it. They might as well go vote for the billionaires' cause if they don't want to shut up about their problems with sensitive liberals, right? Right. So it seems that's exactly what they did.
People don't like people who tell them to shut up, sit down, and behave.
People don't like people who get so offended that they kick you out.
That becomes a problem when you treat the majority like that, and not just a minority of very misbehaved assholes.
Guess why "The One Joke" became so prolific? Some creatively gay progressives desperately wanted to push the majority to comply with a set of new very strange expectations and taboos, and went about it in an incredibly obnoxious, reckless way. It became a huge meme because a majority, not an extremist minority, thought it was weird, ridiculous, stupid, overconfident, pathetic, and probably a whole host of other things.
