President Donald Trump and his supporters describe liberals as 'radical' and 'extreme,' an accusation that one comedy writer describes as 'epic-level gaslighting.' 'Republicans have made it abundantly clear, from behind the presidential seal and in the halls of Congress and on all manner of news networks, that the extremists in America are liberals like me,' wrote humor columnist Rex Huppke for USA Today on Sunday. 'We are, in the oft-repeated words of President Donald Trump, 'radical left lunatics.' We are agitators. Insurrectionists. Thugs. Our ideas are extreme, always. 'Radical left climate extremism.' 'Extreme gender ideology.''

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
