Goldberg: What’s driving former progressives to the right?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:21:53 GMT

In a new essay in the progressive magazine In These Times, writers Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet grapple with the contemporary version of an old phenomenon: erstwhile leftists decamping to the right. There have been plenty of high-profile defectors from the left in recent years, among them comedian Russell Brand; environmentalist-turned-conspiracy-theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; and journalist Matt Taibbi, a onetime scourge of Wall Street, who was recently one of the winners of a $100,000 prize from the ultraconservative Young America’s Foundation.What gives this migration political significance, however, are the ordinary people following them, casting off what they view as a censorious liberalism for a movement that doesn’t ask anyone to “do the work” or “check your privilege.” Joyce and Sharlet write, “We, the authors of this article, each count such losses in our own lives, and maybe you do, too: friends you struggle to hold onto despite their growing allegiance to terrifying id...

When off-duty Los Angeles Police Department Officer Salvador Sanchez fatally shot 32-year-old Kenneth French and wounded his parents after the intellectually disabled man slugged Sanchez in the deli of the Costco in Corona in 2019, Sanchez not only panicked, he also fabricated a narrative intended to show he acted reasonably and to therefore avoid criminal charges, a prosecutor said Tuesday,  Dec. 26.Videos of Sanchez’s statements to authorities both immediately after the shooting and two months later revealed his “lies,” Deputy state Attorney General Mike Murphy said during closing arguments of Sanchez’s voluntary manslaughter trial at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.Sanchez is also on trial on two counts of assault with a firearm for wounding Russell and Paola French.
