I'm one of those who was 'drawn' by your comment, specifically your mention that the Counterreformation was driven by a need to defend the wealth of the popes against the obvious facts of the actual gospels. ... Also your mention of Ike stopping the madness. (He also stopped the madness of Korea. No president since then has even tried to stop or solve anything.)
Aha! Here's someone with a long and clear historical perspective, maybe worth following and supporting!
I'm confused about your revelation about the "Left' which you say was the Old Left that you could identify with. Was that Left the "good Left"? For old, not so subtle me, the political left was always communist. How are they different now? Why the sorrow over not reckoning with them. Trump was a revolutionary and messed with the status quo in DC. I appreciate your candor and awakening so don't apologize for how you feel.
I think that the good left (liberalism) has let the far left drown them out today. New left is guided by CRT, unconscious bias, gender and race like you stated. They don't like different opinions from their group think. They believe that equality is equity of outcome.
What's the saying? When you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
I think that captures todays left.
