I am what would be described as an almost classic liberal; I call myself a JFK Democrat. I differentiate between liberals, which you seem to be, and leftists that seem to dominate the Democrat party these days. "The left" in the US these days is decidedly illiberal, and probably fascist, IMO.

You think the typical Democrat is a fascist? Nancy Pelosi? Joe Biden? Barack Obama? What on Earth is your definition of a fascist?

Over the last five years, the definition of "fascist" has become quite broad and was applied to pretty much anything with which the left disagreed - even asking uncomfortable questions is now considered fascist by the left. Disagreeing with the left is now considered fascist by the left. So I'm just running with that.

How absurd. You are speaking nonsense. I gather you're a fan of Dennis Prager, who also speaks a lot of nonsense.

What I have stated is proven fact. Call it absurd if you wish, as that is the avenue leftists use to impose their form of intolerance and tyranny.

No. That is your silly opinion. Apparently you don't know the difference. You share that fault with Prager. He regularly believes his opinions are facts.

Hypothetical - the left takes control of the US and puts you in charge. Do you let Prager University continue or do you shut it down?

Are you under the illusion (lie) that Google and youtube are "censoring" Prager U?

I'm a liberal democrat. I believe in the Bill of Rights and in democracy. Of course I wouldn't shut it down. Have you heard any Democrats calling for Prager U to be shut down. I trust the American people to see through his right wing propaganda.

You believe in the Bill of Rights and democracy. Do you believe in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a hard earned statement of equality under the law produced through democracy? CRT doesn't work if we follow it, as clearly pointed out by Mr. Kendi:

"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."

-Kendi "how to be an anti-racist"

Civil Rights Act of 1964:

Title VI: No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.

I do wish CRT advocates would be honest and start calling for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act, much like California tried with prop 16. I suspect they know what happens to their broader support when they do that, however.

And I trust the American people to see through this epidemic of left wing propaganda.

By the way, Google/YouTube have censored Prager U videos: not all, but some. That is still censorship. But it's all in the service of a greater good, right?

No. They have not been censored. What you are referring to is self-censorship. All anyone has to do to see any Prager U video is to turn off the parental controls. Prager's claims of "censorship" are a perfect example of how he loves to play the victim and the martyr. His propaganda techniques are working on you. He has you irrationally fearing "the left".
