In China, Mao Zedong stressed ideological <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Great-Leap-Forward\"><span>purity<\/span><\/a><span> during the Great Leap Forward campaign of the 1960s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The modern American Left dabbles in the habits of its foreign predecessors. When particular Leftists speak against Democratic orthodoxy, they are often denounced or castigated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here are five times the Left turned on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Richard Dawkins<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Famed atheist Richard Dawkins was canceled after he invited debate on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/famed-atheist-richard-dawkins-has-humanist-of-the-year-award-revoked-for-questioning-transgenderism?%3Futm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=dwtwitter\"><span>inconsistencies<\/span><\/a><span> of transgenderism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn 2015, Rachel Dolezal, a white chapter president of NAACP, was vilified for identifying as Black. Some men choose to identify as women, and some women choose to identify as men. You will be vilified if you deny that they literally are what they identify as. Discuss,\u201d Dawkins tweeted on April 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After receiving backlash on social media, the author of \u201cThe God Delusion\u201d issued a follow-up tweet: \u201cI do not intend to disparage trans people. I see that my academic \u2018Discuss\u2019 question has been misconstrued as such and I deplore this. It was also not my intent to ally in any way with Republican bigots in US now exploiting this issue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Dawkins \u2014 who is indeed no fan of \u201cRepublican bigots\u201d \u2014 earlier supported Twitter\u2019s banning of President Trump from its platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, Dawkins faced a similar bout of cancel culture from Leftists. The American Humanist Association revoked Dawkins\u2019 Humanist of the Year award from nearly three ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cRegrettably, Richard Dawkins has over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups, an approach antithetical to humanist values,\u201d said the group. \u201cHis latest statement implies that the identities of transgender individuals are fraudulent, while also simultaneously attacking Black identity as one that can be assumed when convenient.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHis subsequent attempts at clarification are inadequate and convey neither sensitivity nor sincerity,\u201d the statement added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alison Gill \u2014 an executive at American Atheists who self-identifies as transgender \u2014 likewise denounced Dawkins: \u201cThe progress of science has helped us better understand who we are as trans people\u2026 We need science communicators like Richard Dawkins to put in the time to learn this information and then communicate it clearly and accurately to the public, not reinforce dangerous and harmful narratives put forward by the opponents of equality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>J. K. Rowling<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Not even the author of the beloved \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series is safe from Leftist cannibalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>J. K. Rowling, who identifies as a feminist, is hesitant to embrace the notions of gender fluidity and transgenderism. For instance, she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jk_rowling\/status\/1269382518362509313\">criticized<\/a> the use of the phrase \u201cpeople who menstruate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?\u201d she tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf sex isn\u2019t real, there\u2019s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn\u2019t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased,\u201d Rowling <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jk_rowling\/status\/1269389298664701952\"><span>explained<\/span><\/a><span> after a wave of backlash. \u201cI know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn\u2019t hate to speak the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI respect every trans person\u2019s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I\u2019d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans,\u201d she continued. \u201cAt the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it\u2019s hateful to say so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Another wave of cancellation washed over Rowling after she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jkrowling.com\/opinions\/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues\/\"><span>supported<\/span><\/a><span> Maya Forstater, who lost her job with the Center for Global Development over \u201ctransphobic\u201d tweets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI knew perfectly well what was going to happen when I supported Maya,\u201d Rowling wrote in an article about the situation. \u201cI must have been on my fourth or fifth cancellation by then. I expected the threats of violence, to be told I was <\/span><i><span>literally killing trans people with my hate<\/span><\/i><span>, to be called c*** and b**** and, of course, for my books to be burned, although one particularly abusive man told me he\u2019d composted them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rowling also mentioned that she had been accused of being a \u201cTrans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist\u201d (TERF) by trans activists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kyrsten Sinema<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) was initially heralded as a progressive hero upon her election to the United States Senate. As she enters her third year in Congress, many Leftists are now decrying her as a traitor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sinema is the first openly LGBT woman to attain election to the Senate, and she is an adamant supporter of the LGBTQ+ movement. However, her opinions on other issues lean far more conservative than others in the Democratic Party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In February, for instance, Sinema <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/4-pro-life-policies-joe-biden-has-scrapped-in-his-first-100-days\"><span>voted<\/span><\/a><span> against an amendment that would have added a $15 minimum wage law to Joe Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan. She bobbed her knees as she gave a thumbs-down to the policy, creating body language that reflected some degree of lightheartedness while offering the vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To this day, Sinema\u2019s social media is filled with condemnation over the move. Even a tweet about her Minority Business Resiliency Act was \u201cratioed\u201d \u2014 flooded with more comments than likes \u2014 due to Leftists criticizing her minimum wage vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHelp minorities by raising the minimum wage!\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dandeeloins\/status\/1385648881128460294\"><span>screeched<\/span><\/a><span> one commenter.

Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is often ostracized within the Democratic Party due to her moderate views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gabbard faced criticism as one of the few Democrats who dared to meet with President Trump after his election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sherry Alu Campagna, an environmental scientist who sought to challenge Gabbard in the Democratic primaries, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2018\/aug\/10\/tulsi-gabbard-how-a-progressive-rising-star-is-a-paradox-for-the-left\"><span>commented<\/span><\/a><span> that \u201cthe wake up call, for most of us, came when Gabbard met with Trump soon after his inauguration and then with Assad, instead of marching on DC with us and the rest of the Hawaii\u2019s congressional delegation during the Women\u2019s March in protest of what has become an unprecedented abolition of human and civil rights in America.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe incumbent clearly has an agenda that does not involve her constituents and we are waking up to the fact that our needs are taking a back seat to her ambitions,\u201d Campagna added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/opinion\/story\/2019-10-25\/tulsi-gabbard-russian-asset-republican\"><span>op-ed<\/span><\/a><span> from The Los Angeles Times\u2019 Brian Boyle \u2014 entitled \u201cTulsi Gabbard may not be a Russian asset, but she sure talks like one\u201d \u2014 slammed Gabbard for appearing on Sean Hannity\u2019s program to discuss impeachment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShe snuck onto the Democratic debate stage this month as the low-polling 12th member,\u201d wrote Boyle. \u201cThat\u2019s right, a candidate for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination stopped by Fox News on Thursday night to echo the muckiest, swampiest of Republican talking points.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Boyle could not fathom the possibility of Gabbard holding views that do not perfectly align with the Democratic platform: \u201cGabbard is a tricky candidate to pin down. Her domestic policy positions graft rather cleanly with Bernie Sanders\u2019 and Elizabeth Warren\u2019s progressive platforms \u2014 in fact, she was one of Sanders\u2019 fiercest supporters in 2016. She\u2019s also a veteran, though holds staunch anti-interventionist views (which could be admirable in theory but in practice look like Trump\u2019s blood-soaked abandonment of the Kurds).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kristen Day<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>For left-wing cultists, pro-life Democrats are intolerable apostates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kristen Day \u2014 who leads an organization called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/democratsforlife.org\/index.php\/about-us\/mission\"><span>Democrats for Life<\/span><\/a><span> \u2014 is routinely shunned by members of her party for defending unborn babies\u2019 right to life. Her organization seeks to create \u201can inclusive culture of Democrats who oppose abortion and other systemic discrimination.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Day gained national attention after she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasrighttolife.com\/mayor-pete-tells-pro-life-democrat-shes-not-welcome\/\"><span>asked<\/span><\/a><span> former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg whether pro-life voters belong in their party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI am a proud pro-life Democrat,\u201d Day told Buttigieg during a Fox News town hall. \u201cSo, do you want the support of pro-life Democrats, pro-life Democratic voters? There are about 21 million of us, and if so, would you support more moderate platform language in the Democratic Party to ensure that the party of diversity and inclusion really does include everybody?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Buttigieg responded by stating that \u201cI am pro-choice, and I believe that a woman ought to be able to make that decision,\u201d which other Democrats in the audience greeted with raucous applause. However, Day pointed out that Buttigieg refused to answer the second part of her question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Democratic platform contains language that basically says that we don\u2019t belong, we have no part in the party because it says abortion should be legal up to nine months; the government should pay for it,\u201d said Day about pro-life Democrats. \u201cAnd there\u2019s nothing that says that people that have a diversity of views on this issue should be included in the party.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
