The article explores a book that anticipated many issues Trump faced while running for president, highlighting hypocrisy among political elites about race. It criticizes the black political leadership's relationship with the press and the Democratic Party's political correctness. The author discusses the challenges facing conservatives as being structural, influenced by a powerful alliance of media, bureaucracy, and judiciary. Furthermore, it notes a shift in civil rights from equal treatment to demands for equal rewards, likening the radical left's pressure for loyalty to the behaviors seen in authoritarian regimes.
America's black political leadership has been "courted, coddled and fawned upon by the press as no other assemblage of politicians in history." The hypocrisy of upper-middle-class bureaucrats and judges who advocate for politically correct slogans while isolating their families from minority communities is astounding. The author critiques the current civil rights leaders for pushing for discrimination rather than equal treatment, noting that "Equal rights have been replaced by the demand for equal reward."
The challenges conservatives face are structural, driven by an iron triangle of media, bureaucracy, and the courts. We live in a governance system ruled by an unelected oligarchy of bureaucrats, judges, and press, insulated from the electorate and guided by their ideology. This reduces democratic accountability and perpetuates a politically correct narrative.
The radicalism of the left is a call for absolute loyalty to the party, likened to the militant wing of China's Communist Party during the Cultural Revolution. The author argues that these demands undermine democratic processes and represent a shift towards authoritarianism within American political discourse.
The author sheds light on the corruption of the liberal deep state, attributing malign motives to its architects. This deep state operates with ideologies that seek to entrench power beyond electoral accountability, further complicating the challenges faced by conservatives in the current political landscape.
