A Gen X Liberal's Take on the New Woke Left

“I consider myself a liberal. I still consider myself a feminist,” says writer Meghan Daum. But the past few years have left her shaken. “I did not feel that the new left was necessarily representing my values all the time. There was a sort of purity-policing that interestingly we used to associate with the right," she says. Between #MeToo, smugness on social media, the Covington high schooler incident, and an interest in the so-called "intellectual dark web", Daum is carving out her own political path. We also cover the following stories: What happened during the first public impeachment hearing. Hillary Clinton says Margaret Thatcher wasn't worthy of being in her new book about gutsy women. Disney is warning viewers of its older films that they may contain outdated cultural depictions. The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet,iTunes, Pippa, Google Play, or Stitcher.
