I have no respect for the people like Graham who are only voicing their objections now that the election results provide cover.

Graham has always strongly opposed censorship, group think, purity spirals etc.
But he wasn’t willing to write an article like this until Trump’s election provides him cover. It’s funny how many moderate liberals have suddenly found their voices.
"What you can't say" (https://www.paulgraham.com/say.html) is 21 years old now.
"Heresy" (https://www.paulgraham.com/heresy.html) was during Biden's tenure.
"Orthodox Privilege" (https://www.paulgraham.com/orth.html) was during the height of lockdown-era BLM.
"Keep your Identity Small" (https://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html) is from the beginning of Obama's tenure.
Criticizing "wokeness" today is not at all inconsistent with PG's historically stated opinions and beliefs.
That's not fair. He's been vocal about it on Twitter for years, for example.
Btw pg is as anti-Trump as he is anti-woke. I wonder how many heads in this thread would not explode if they really took that in.
