I think they pushed the Overton window too fast, so they're losing a plurality of the people who used to accept the legacy media as mainline 'truth.' (This includes me; I was brought up Blue Tribe.)
I do wonder what the urgency is on their part, because a slower boil would have kept more frogs in the cooking pot (which would have been 'ideal' for their side.)
I suspect the urgency is due to the older generation of neo-Maoists pushing the culture war for political reasons being replaced by younger 'true-believer' types who adhere to intersectionality as a religion.
If my supposition is correct, it means that the acceleration isn't a rational stratagem, but rather a natural consequence of the left's center-of-mass politically tilting towards the Progressive zealot's PoV. They are overreaching precisely because they believe it's a moral imperative to proselytize and convert/destroy their opposition. 'Silence is violence' and a totalitarian approach to morality inevitably follows. 'Either you suck the feminine penis or you go against the wall.'
That would mean that the media has essentially lost control of the Progressive golem's thought processes. The mask is has come loose and more and more people realize what the left is about. In attempting to direct Progressives, they need to appeal to the narrative-- the way things 'should' be, per Progressive morality-- more than what actually is.
As the narrative moves past people, those of us getting turned about in the wake of the leftward movement are left to piece together how to respond. Some will flail, but more and more will come to the conclusion that the left needs to be stopped and won't accept the messaging & framing of the Legacy Media. Welcome to the 'post-truth era.' It turns out to be a spiritual battle for the soul of the West.
I wonder though if they're pushed the Overton window too far.
What if there is an objective truth that they've simply strayed too far from?
Like, how slow would you have to go to normalize pedos? Eventually you have to pull the trigger and then you're at the bottom of the slippery slope; there's nothing worse you can do.
I fear our tolerance has let us get to a place so bad that violence will be required to protect our families and tear down a corrupted system, rather than fixing it through political means, which we could have done if we caught it soon enough.
pedos [...] [are] the bottom of the slippery slope; there's nothing worse you can do.
I don't want to describe in detail the infinite depravity of the human condition, but there's several memes on 4-chan that (accurately) put child molestation in the middle of the slope (with the top approximately where we are now.)
Wuh-wuh-wuh-why won’t Americans accept a constantly wrong/lying propaganda machine as absolute truth anymore?

That's possible, absolutely.
