Most people really have no idea how far left the modern progressive has gone. They have gone so far left that even what used to be standard bearer progressive popular entertainment from 23 years ago would be denounced as far right now.
For example, tell a modern leftist a plot line of the Bartlett administration from the TV show West Wing, and see how they react. Use, as a case study, this scene, and the context thereof, to set up a Presidential ethics dilemma to a modern progressive. Leave out that it is the West Wing, make it about Biden, and see how a modern Democrat reacts.
They would hate the idea of the WH council demanding that the President appoint a fire breathing Republican as special council.
The Democrat administration shown in West Wing was ethical, valued the rule of law, valued dissenting opinions, and fired people for leaking to the press. The modern Democrat party does none of these things, and hasn't since LBJ, if not before.
I have the benefit of being politically aware for longer than many of you, and so, I can tell you that the 2014 rule should really be the 1960 rule, if not before. Activist and provocative content has been in popular entertainment for far longer than most of you realize.
