If you follow American media then you will realise that there is a strong trend towards fighting systemic racism and fighting systemic discrimination of LGBTQ. As a German it is unbelievable to watch to what extent they are doing this. It seems it got to an extent where there is a forced ideology where anybody remotely identifying as somewhat liberal feels forced to follow. From what I can see on the internet, any discussion about these topics is almost immediately hijacked by ideological views and thus an objective discussion prevented.

Beware confirmation bias. esrauch just posted a peer comment that is totally reasonable, not flamebait, and quite objective. Did you notice that just as you would the one commenter out of thousands who happens to be the "loudest in the room"?

Engage with the constructive conversationalists who can show you another perspective. The more you look for them, the more you see.

You hit the nail on the head. I used to identify as liberal and also voted as such. The woke culture is so annoying, it has pushed me to the right side of the political aisle.

Could you explain how a culture pushed you opposite side of the political spectrum?
