The cancer infecting the political Left

Sort of...except the original post claims that a mob of woke leftists is leading us to an eventual socialist police state, when there is an actual right-wing police state led by a Republican president forming (or attempting to form) before our eyes.

To address the original post, I do agree with its statement of the fall of liberalism. I don't know about the assertion that most liberals aren't aware that they are now stuck between the populist right and the populist left. I think this is commonly understood, though perhaps not by the average Democratic voter, who ran to Biden for a safe, comfortable bet against Trump. But certainly it's a theme you encounter in opinion pieces and analysis throughout the journalistic media.
