Humiliation is part of the appeal. While most lefties tend to believe in the urgency of whatever cause they happen to be worked up over at the moment, their deepest satisfaction arises less from seeing justice done than watching the retrograde submit. It lets the bad guys know who’s boss. “How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?” Forcing you to call a woman a man, or vice versa, is all the more satisfying when those holding the gun to your head know you don’t really believe it. That, and the constant ginning up of new hysterias keeps deplorables off-balance and on the defensive.
