I am guessing some people -- including myself at times -- find the left-leaning/progressive movements and agendas to be too prevalent, or blown out of proportion. For example, according to Stats Canada, the LGBTQ+ community consists of ~4% of Canada's population. With 4% representation, you'd expect it to receive roughly 4%'s worth of exposure when you are out in the world interacting with things. But for some people, they keep thinking these left-leaning agenda keeps coming up, and end up occupying far more than 4% of the time.

It may or may not be true that the actual amount of attention given to these left-leaning agendas is more than 4%. To those who have fairly traditional values, even if the real life actual attention/exposure of these topics may only amount to 1 or 2%, in their eyes, they may perceive it as having 30 - 40% of the the world's time and attention. And bcos of that, they get annoyed.

I am only using LGBTQ+ as an example here, but at any given point in time, a LOT of progressive agendas appear as front and center issues that draw our attention. It could be safe injection sites, housing advocates for the homeless, the banning of plastic straws and bags, along with their paper or synthetic weave replacements, gender neutral washrooms, climate change, etc. etc. Each time it might be a different topic, but at least I can see how non-progressive thinking people get really annoyed because they think these leftard agendas are constantly bombarding their world, when they really do not believe in them.
