2. Reactionary and right wing voices incite a backlash based on strawmen and bad faith fearmongering
3. Backlash goes too far; bad shit happens
4. Reactionary and right wing voices blame progressives

First, the activist ‘overreach’ mostly consisted of low-stakes, cherry-picked anecdotes. The police were not defunded. Words were not banned. White men were not barred from college.
The backlash is responding to the *possibility* of social change, not actual change.
