I think that the issue goes both ways. Modern conservatives have adopted a strategy of ignoring or exploiting discrimination and inequality. So if someone cares about addressing those issues, then the current progressives are the only game in town.

If you believe in the approach of Kendi and DiAngelo, they are the only game in town.
If you believe Kendi and DiAngelo’s approach is counterproductive then supporting modern progressives is acting against the very issues you care about.
You don’t have to make a choice of which foot to shoot yourself in. You can simply not fire.
There are plenty of more moderate political voices, even within the parties. You can support them and you can denounce the groups whose policies you dislike.
Modern progressives are only in the ‘game’ because people support them. If you don’t like what they represent, you can stop.

Are you saying that conservatives today are more likely to engage in "exploiting discrimination and inequality" than conservatives yesterday? Or what did you mean by "modern"?
