rowling has recently faced a wave of outrage after expressing her views on the issue of transgenders and feminism. resistance must not be allowed to harden into his own brand of dogma or coersion the democratic conclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides well we have come to expect this on the radical right since sorious ness is also spreading more widely in our culture and intolerance of opposing views of vogue for public shaming and ostracism and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty well that after instantly to a backlash from both sides of the political divide leftists quickly denounced it as a display of elitism and fear of accountability while those on the right pointed to the poll corsi of some of the signatories who have themselves called for the consolation of others. following the backlash a couple of the signatories that have a parent even disavowed the letter we spoke to political studies professor roger berkovitz who is one of those who signed the letter he beli

so as they hit them to take a stand jk rowling and other liberal writers signed an open letter to andancel culture. even of these are very much that they were attacking me so why a change of heart? they are terrified they realize the mob is finally getting around and until now they never lifted a finger. a lot of they are literally safe who didn't sign a list? dave ruben, scott adams, joe rogan, weinstein, a clint eastwood, they on the tip of the spear. listens a book deal might be in danger we get this bunch instead but good for them even if it seems cowardly they claim to enter want to cancel culture so i say that because they want to justify this without passing off the mob and try to say if you keep canceling people trump will win so they are not actually opposing the enemy just appealing to them. to even apologize asking to have their names erased from the article because the act itself is a cancellation. the truth these elites could stop this monster years ago but they let it grow to avoid the spotlight landing on them. but now we have an open letter. how amazing. i say they are

rowling's is over -- in. j.k.ling and other authors are among the signatories of a letter that will be published in harper's magazine cautioning against what they term is a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that are weakening open debate and tolerance. the letter says the way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence or wish them away. we refuse any false choice between justice and freedom which cannot exist without each other. one of the big issues in november as we deal with the coronavirus pandemic will be health care. the trump administration continues its efforts to get rid of obamacare and that will be a rallying point for democrats who want to stop him. tonight correspondent mike meredith looks at where the battle lines are being drawn. >> it's a law that saves lives. >> democrats campaign on health care almost every election in this year the issue may matter more than ever. >> health care is still the number one kitchen table issue in america.

i think that reaches the idea that jk rowling is, you know, excels from her creation.it is seen as everyone. often the response has not been let's never read harry potter again. hogwarts is bigger than she is. we can still write fiction. we can still love these characters. they belong to us. that tendency can tell us so much about the wider questions of into elation, inwardness and individualization that we are seeing in large in the book. >> the last question. let's do a post covid world question. one person says, do you think in a post covid world where people will be looking to find meaning and purpose in communities and the newer stranger face will be fast tracked and do you think that there is a sense in which they should be more likely to form actual communities or even cults which is aware that we have not used that much. one way to put it is a 1968 politics right now. the 1970s were sort of the high tide of communal experiments, strange religious cults. what do you foresee after covid and maybe after donald trump? >> well, i think, the combination of our increa

rowling, any of the other hypofile people who can withstand this sort of pressure. this cancel culture is meant to silence the people who don't have protection, who don't have power, who don't have a platform to appear on their web site or on tv. those are the people who are really is suffering, and that's really the vice and the negative aspect of cancel culture. there was a poll recently out that something like two-thirds of people in the u.s. and i think almost 80% of conservatives feel that they cannot speak their minds on issues. that's the really pernicious aspect of it. so cancel culture is a lot more than mere criticism. gerry: yeah, you're right. it's not just people like you who speak out publicly and, you know, get denounced and an effort to fire you, but for every one person like you, there are many, many people who are even silenced, who are shocked into silence by that kind of behavior because they don't want to risk getting out there and being denounced. >> that's right. so when the dean of the law school announces that we're not going to fire this pe
