Why I Can't Be A Conservative

In the worlds of education, media, politics, employment, entertainment and sports, any liberal who refuses to accept the race-and-gender authoritarianism that has taken over 99% of our institutions, is immediately branded as an evil conservative. Most people are so thrown off by this that they are bullied into silent compliance or even join in with the woke racializing, genderizing and medicalizing of every issue (if for no other reason than vocational and social survival). And thus the average Democrat is found scrambling to even keep up with the new rules (all of them mandatory) and new terminology (all of it mandatory) required to even maintain their jobs and their friendships. In this environment, the average liberal would hardly know were to begin to define what a real liberal or real conservative is anymore. This book helps clear these issues up.

If a liberal dissents on any woke issue whatsoever (whether that be Russia Collusion, MeToo, BLM, COVID or the Ukraine) they are then hopelessly, permanently and irredeemably branded as a conservative for whom there can be no forgiveness, fellowship or mercy. Then the question comes: What do you say if you're falsely accused of being a conservative when you consider yourself an ordinary liberal?

We've all been trained by insidious one-liners not to defend ourselves against false accusations. The famous one-liners that come from our odious universities are: "Just because you have a black friend doesn't prove you're not a racist," or, "Just because you're poor and disabled doesn't prove you don't have white privilege," or, "Just because you're homeless and hooked on drugs doesn't mean you're not a misogynist." We've all been convinced that defending ourselves is "defensiveness" which allegedly has as its object "holding onto your power" because your "white fragility" causes you to be "afraid to give up your power."

Well, I'm here to say that all of us true liberals should defend our liberal credentials at every turn and assert that real aid to the poor and marginalized, in the form of housing, medical care, tuition assistance, psychiatric care, substance-abuse care and expanded mass transit, are the way forward for any truly liberal party. And, I assert, every true liberal who believes in real equality — not the sexist, racist identity politics that dominates college admissions offices and human resources departments — must insist that investments in upward class mobility will elevate people of all identities far faster than dehumanizing straight, white, downwardly-mobile, low-income males.

Because real liberals have forgotten how to defend themselves, I've created this short tract to remind people what our main goals traditionally were, and what they really should be now, and how to point out to people that we must embrace things that are truly and honestly liberal. We must take our institutions and political processes back from the insufferably phony, sanctimonious frauds who now control them. Toward that end, let this book serve as a political self-defense manual.

True liberals must work toward bringing free speech back to the public square and advocate for the full restoration of human rights to ordinary people, most of whom have been shamed into silence. And the only way to do this, as liberals, is to argue with the conformist wing of the Democratic party; and to argue with them, we must become experts at proving that we are the real liberals, not them. You will find, as I have, that once they can't pin the conservative label on you, they're literally helpless and unable to defend any of their bad ideas. After all, they have no practice at debating and haven't done it for years. And once they're moved out of their false-accusation comfort zone, they're the lousiest and laziest debaters on earth. So we can do this. We can defeat the race-hustler / gender-grifter wing of the Democratic Party and make it a party we're proud ...
