I think a decade ago, most centrist liberals were hoping the heat spike was a blip that would die down.
When it became clear that wasn't the case, and the heat was going to level off at best, or more likely keep rising, then it became time to jump.
I remember the days of hoping "the regressive left" would get their shit together on calling every criticism of Islam "Islamophobia". Eventually, you just run out of hope.
