The article critiques modern conservative ideology, asserting it is rooted in three main tenets: the belief in white superiority, the encouragement of violence against marginalized groups, and neglectful policies towards the poor. It references a recent academic paper by student Preston Damsky, which argues that the Constitution's phrase "We the People" exclusively pertains to white people and advocates extreme measures against nonwhite individuals. The article connects Damsky’s views with broader conservative practices like gerrymandering and violent border policies, suggesting that this ideology is neither a fringe belief nor a new development, but rather deeply embedded in current conservatism.
The ideology encapsulated in modern conservatism embodies white supremacy, endorses violence against marginalized groups, and advocates for neglect and elimination of welfare for the poor.
Damsky's argument that 'We the People' refers only to white Americans not only undermines democratic principles but exposes ongoing systemic racism in contemporary conservativism.
