Social Engineering and the Dark Side of American Liberalism

This is very confused thinking. Divorced from reality.

Sure, this is an upsetting history, especially viewed in retrospect.

But what the heck does it have to do with liberalism? The logic is tortured and convoluted.

As an example, racial segregation existed in the U.S. just a few decades ago. Some of its adherents are still alive and kicking. And they are all Republicans. This is so obvious.

To make a connection between American liberal thought, on one hand, and Hitler or fascists or whatever on the other - - well, it requires a certain hysteria in thinking. It doesn't make any sense at all.

The cloistered conservative right wing is suffering from claustrophobia in its echo chamber - the resulting lack of normal independent thought that results from peer review and independent discussion is causing the ideas to founder from illogic.
