I agree that fanatical extremists are capturing America’s institutions but the extremists are progressives — not fanatical right wing extremists. Education is a prime example. Colleges and universities now have safe spaces to protect students from exposure to conflicting views. A second example is the media that no longer just reports the news but attempts to sway readers to the left. A third example is religion that is yielding to being banned in public places. Karl Marx would be proud of the progress toward communism.
