Liberalism Is a Cult
21st March 2022
Freeberg nails it.
Conservatives, all over the place, confess that Donald Trump might not be a good role model for boys. It isn’t even a concession. A lot of them are eager to agree to this, in fact will advance it, waiting for others to agree. I can’t find any liberals wiling to concede HIllary Clinton or Kamala Harris make poor role models for girls.
Being a liberal, I’ve concluded, must have a lot to do with never conceding anything, anywhere, at any time. Never admit to having been wrong. Never make a single U-turn. That’s for lesser people.
It isn’t that liberals have a frayed or worn-down tethering to truth, or that they have their own truth, the problem is that they don’t have any. Liberalism is its own “truth.”
A financial analyst or economist who is a liberal, is a liberal first.
A lawyer who is a liberal, is a liberal first.
A scientist who is a liberal, is a liberal first.
It’s a cult.
