Sure, so he tends to side with traditional power structures over rights and liberties. For instance: * He wants to institute a test and ban people from voting under the age of 25 who don't pass the test. This favors the institution who creates the test over the individual. His policy position here is to take away voting rights and empower institutions. [0] * He is anti-choice for abortion. Generally this is seen as an anti-individualist stance as it favors institutional religious authority over individual choice. He favors state bans and says he would not implement a federal ban. [1] * He opposes secularism saying: > "When you abandon religion, you don’t lose the need for God. You just start worshiping new gods instead. The left embraces secular religions: wokeism, Covidism, climateism. The right flocks to Christ-like human saviors, only to be disappointed every time. It’s happening yet again. [..] The need to believe in something higher is a feature of the human condition, a thing that distinguishes us from animals. We’re better off recognizing it." [2] Now he is welcome to his opinion, but this opinion speaks to how he thinks. That people need something over them, that if you don't don't give them some sort of false idol, they invent their own. This is Plato's Noble lie [3] and fundamentally anti-individualist. That the meaning of someone's life only matters if it comes from an authority. I call this conservative atheism, that the actual existence of God is immaterial, what is important is the belief in some great chain of being, with authorities above individuals. I have more respect for conservatives who actually believe in a God (or Gods) than atheist conservatives who see the propagation of a lie about a sky-tyrant as required for their political program. It's the intellectual dishonesty of a cult leader. While many people who are described as Woke would be scandalized to be called an individualist, at its core the conservative opposition to Wokism is comes an opposition to individualism and individualism is the basis of liberty.
