They also chat about how progressives are sucking the joy out of food, sports, hobbies, fashion, movies, and television in their pursuit of a better world. Limiting happiness is a feature, not a bug, of 21st Century progressivism.\nGet the book here:  https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-rise-of-the-new-puritans-noah-rothman?variant=39727623471138","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kNYd03PWLsrhW1fapjuL69XCID7ipQAh8UAmtQYE_W0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM2NzM4LzE2Njk4/MzU0NzktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
