Can you cite a source for that extraordinary claim, Derec?
It's not a single source. It's a combination of evidence. The sexist "Swedish model" itself is a creation of the feminist Left and has been adopted by left-wing governments in places like France, Spain and Canada. German far-left Left Party (they include elements of East German "Socialist Unity Party" SED) is also pushing for it.
In the US, the anti-sex work SASTA/FOSTA abomination was passed with bipartisan supermajorities. In the House, comparable numbers of Democrats and Republicans voted against. In the Senate, only 2 did so - one Democrat, one Republican.
"Turns out" is a rather strong statement based on nothing more than a flimsy poll by a partisan "Data for Progress". I am skeptical of the poll because many on the left use decriminalization language to mean the sexist Swedish model which is decriminalization for providers only. For example, when the
previous Manhattan DA announced that he will no longer prosecute prostitution, he made it clear that he still wants to prosecute customers. The Swedish model is left-wing, "progressive" orthodoxy and is supported also by many on here, most vocally Toni.
Meanwhile, conservatives are actually acting on the same sentiment. They have embarked on a concerted campaign to invade school boards in order to succeed in a book-banning spree. They have similar projects on the go to remove books from public libraries they find unacceptable. Glenn Youngkin, said during his gubernatorial campaign that he would ban critical race theory on his first day in office.
Disagreements about curriculum are different than free speech issues. I do not think branding one race as uniquely racist (which is what CRT does) is good educational policy. Nor is insisting that math is racist like California wants to do. Public school should not be places of ideological indoctrination - from the left or from the right.
Extremists on both sides of the spectrum are bad. Left-wing extremists are no better than right-wing ones.
What next? Public book burnings? Oh, wait. That's already happening.
And for years the "progressives" have been actively trying to prevent conservative and pro-Israel speakers from speaking at universities, including disruptive tactics if they could not persuade the administration from banning the speaker outright.
Calls from the left to restrict speech have also been going on for years.
Yes, neo-conservative. You missed the bit where I wrote "it might help if you are mindful of the difference between economic liberalism and social liberalism." The pandemic has forced Biden to put the brakes on economic liberalism, though.
Biden has shifted far left, which is a shame. But that does not mean Hillary is a "neoconservative".
