I'm really new to webpack, react, babel, etc. I had this working at one time, but I screwed something up and now I can't seem to fix it back. I have tried to get this to work for days now. The only guidance I have been able to find says update npm and node, and that guidance was two years old. Also, I have the latest versions of both.
Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong, or better still how to not use postcss? Maybe a library that does the same thing? Perhaps a list of everything I need to install and in the proper order?

PS. As a career MS developer, I have the utmost respect for those of you who can be productive in this stack. I don't know how you people live like this. :)
To solve your problem. I think you just have to edit your package.json and specify an acceptable version of postcss-loader. I would suggest to use the most recent of 1.3.1. So within your package.json specify the version like this:
"devDependencies": {
"postcss": "^5.2.10",
"postcss-loader": "^1.3.1"
},
Then try running the install once more and see what happens.
npm install postcss-loader --save-dev
