It should be as you point out, but it isn't. The modern liberal mind is more interested in destruction rather than thankful that they are where they are, though getting here had plenty of bumps. It's the bumps that they fixate on while at the same time ignoring, or not divulging, the bumps they will inflict if there's no counter to what they desire.

"The modern liberal mind" - I believe the problem is that there are few alternatives or nuance to many of today's arguments. In my opinion, both Woke and Populists are two sides of the same coin! - Both believe in homogeneous cultures and the importance of identity over individuals and individual dignity. Both are anti-democratic - one based on Marxist ideals, the other on the ideals that got the Nazis elected!
Both believe in cultural myths and the purity of culture.. (ignoring all of history is very mixed and all people very individual) Both are willing to take away people's rights once they gain power. Both use fiery rhetoric to get their way rather than building bridges of understanding. Both believe in an unnamed other who is a constant threat, as well as cultural myths and the separation of identity groups... Both are anti-science -one using bad science to promote ideas like unconscious bias (in a way that the researchers never intended- and that is not even reproducible! - conspiracy theories
I believe that many people who are unfamiliar with equity and inclusion simply know too little about it to see it as a threat to universal rights -the media does not help here, and there is little nuance to inform people, so only populism is focused on.
But neither believe in universal human rights nor in humanism...
Populism will not bring all of society together, and neither will liberalism while it is entwined with equity and inclusion (it's a perversion of liberalism and its ideals) - doing so will require a lot of bridge building and removing this ideology to return to the concept of universal human rights. in the end, it is people who need to connect with people as individuals who are unique and equally protected and valued regardless of race, creed, or gender. and not as a result of it
