But as they are taken to the extreme, they have to change to reflect that shift and remain coherent. As the snowflakes move to the left, for example, they have to jettison the traditional liberal views on free speech.

Even if they didn't mix with non-liberal traditions as they grow closer to them, they still end up disconnected from liberalism. They stop being simply an extreme, and become a discrete new thing to contend with.

It is a challenge, they aren't coming from the same place anymore, and reevaluation would help to understand how to effectively tackle those differences.
