The idea of political correctness has had many detractors of all political stripes; none, though, as unrelenting as conservatives, most notably the Trumpers. For years, they have slammed the idea of political correctness as a way of undermining all liberal causes associated with it, causes they consider nothing more than ideological PC-related slop-multiculturalism, climate change, gun reform, the development of a green economy, even the universal wearing of masks during a pandemic.

The idea of political correctness has had many detractors of all political stripes; none, though, as unrelenting as conservatives, most notably the Trumpers. For years, they have slammed the idea of political correctness as a way of undermining all liberal causes associated with it, causes they consider nothing more than ideological PC-related slop-multiculturalism, climate change, gun reform, the development of a green economy, even the universal wearing of masks during a pandemic. In this book, Howard Kamler sets his sights on how conservatives use their withering attacks against PC to sabotage one very special PC-related ideological cause. That would be the liberal defense of minority liberation around issues of race, gender, religion, and much more. Kamler paints a picture of how the conservative anti-PC diatribes are a thinly veiled bigoted project that is really aimed at denying minorities their rights altogether. He argues how, when properly understood, political correctness is not only an effective antidote to this conservative project, but also a sine qua non of any well-functioning democracy.
