I'm a classic liberal, equality for all, but not the new "liberalism" espoused by Ibrahim X Kendi ("How to be anti-racist") that posits "The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."
The discrimination remedies would be levied based on race to (mostly) white people but also non-BIPOC peoples (black/indigenous people-of-color) such as Asians.
I know many readers on HN may not be interested in following this stuff, but its becoming THE issue for me thats turned me from the Obama-voting liberal I was to the right-wing voter I am now (despite not being a conservative, religious, from the South/rural, etc).
Seeing the Democratic party embrace these ideologies full-stop has been incredibly saddening.
