You could do a burnout from that backpedaling

I think he is relatively right though in terms of like, the general public facing side of society. I read this pretty nice blog article recently that I think is somewhat relevant https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/01/neutral-vs-conservative-the-eternal-struggle/ and while I think it's interesting and worth reading in its entirety I'll also just pull out the part that I'm being reminded of here

The overall impression is of a widespread norm, well-understood by both liberals and conservatives, that we have a category of space we call neutral and depoliticized. These sorts of spaces include institutions as diverse as colleges, newspapers, workplaces, and conferences. And within these spaces, overt liberalism is tolerated but overt conservativism is banned. In a few of these cases, conservatives grew angry enough that they started their own spaces which began as noble attempts to avoid bias, and ended as wretched hives of offensive troglodytes who couldnt get by anywhere else. This justifies further purges in the mainstream liberal spaces, and the cycle goes on forever.

In the hospital where I work, theres a RESIST TRUMP poster on the bulletin board in our break room. I dont know who put it there, but I know that anybody who demanded that it be taken down would be tarred as a troublemaker, and anyone who tried to put a SUPPORT TRUMP poster up next to it would be lectured about how politics are inappropriate at work. This is true even though I think at least a third of my colleagues are Trump supporters.
