Are taxes theft? Is abortion murder? Does regulation destroy jobs? Is white privilege a lie? Conservative talking points are everywhere, and through well-funded media like Fox News, Breitbart, and YouTube's "Prager University," the right has an impressive record of packaging its views for a general audience. Clearly, the left needs to do a better job of fighting back. Luckily, Current Affairs editor Nathan J. Robinson has developed a reputation as a meticulous slayer of irrational and bigoted arguments. He has tangled with the likes of Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and Charles Murray, exposing their flimsy logic and distorted facts with forensic thoroughness and savage wit. In Responding to the Right, Robinson blasts right-wing nonsense with devastating intellectual weaponry, revealing how everyone from Ann Coulter to the National Review uses fear and lies to manipulate the public. He gives a detailed explanation of how conservative arguments work and why we need to resist them, then goes through twenty-five separate talking points, showing precisely why each one fails. This essential handbook is a stimulating source of issues to debate and a comprehensive challenge to dozens of dominant orthodoxies. It sets a new standard for leftist critique, and would be an invaluable addition to the arsenals of the millions of progressives fighting the political battles of our age"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Conservatism $z United States. 650 0 $a Right and left (Political science) $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 650 7 $a Conservatism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875582 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Right and left (Political science) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01097849 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043907.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230310010735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B45EF2BCBF1111ED8AFE88FD4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
