Dan Crenshaw does social media good. What he may lack in depth perception, he makes up for in a Don Henley-esque way of getting down the heart of the matter. This is no doubt to in response to the latest casualty of the culture wars, Gina Carano. In case you didn't know, the former Star Wars star is right-leaning. She was found guilty of the high crime of tweeting right-leaning opinions. Ironically, the same week we found out far-left director Joss Whedon may have allegedly been abusing his female stars for decades. But again, he was far left. So ... meh.
But what are the "culture wars"? Basically, there two sides who have two different sets of opinions. One side makes up 98% of the media, Big Tech, the entertainment industry, and blogs that cover those three topics. The other side is us. This makes up most of America, regardless of whether people admit that when pollsters bother them on the phone. And the former side likes to deplatfom the latter side for disagreeing. Or, that's at least my opinion. Ten bucks says it's most of yours as well. It's definitely Crenshaw's, who laid out a TWENTY-THREE-point guide.

ll of these are simply common sense. If you ask people off of social media, I'd venture most will agree it sounds like common sense to them as well. None of this makes the "war" easier. Conservatives are told to make our own platforms. You saw what they did to Parler for doing just that.
But having a handy list that explains what you believe helps. Work on the "why" you believe it, and you can explain that to others. Many of whom I believe already agree. They may just not know it yet.

Hard pass on Klaus Krenshaw.
I trust this guy as much an Obiden.
It’s the same individual. This guy is clearly a political poser.
Like too many “conservatives” he talks the talk but doesn’t walk it.
It is. I’ll pass on Crenshaw too.
Texans will deal with him.
He’s a fraud like almost every politician out of Texas with the exception of Louie Gohmert.
Lindsay Graham talks like a conservative once in a while as well.
He can f himself.

The Conservative Guide to the Culture Wars (in no particular order):
1. America is worthy of our love and patriotism.
2. Victor mentality is better than a victim mentality.
3. Free speech is absolute. “Hate speech” is not an objective term.
4. It doesn’t matter what kind of gun you restrict, criminals still hurt people. Let us protect ourselves.
5. You get to keep wealth you create & pass it to your kids.
6. The govt has no right to shut down your business or invade your home without due process, even in pandemics
7. Women should not have to compete against men in women’s sports.
8. Verifying ID to vote is not racist. It is common sense.
9. Borders and national sovereignty are not racist or xenophobic.
10. You can’t have freedom without order, order without law, law without morality, morality without religion, or religion without God.
11. Innocent until proven guilty - not the other way around.
12. Personal responsibility is a virtue.
13. Never give into cancel culture (but stay humble and apologize when you’re wrong).
14. The founding was 1776, not 1619.
15. Stand for the anthem.
16. Policy that favors one race over another is not “social justice,” it is racist.
17. It’s *Latinos*, not Latinx.
18. Less abortion, more adoption.
19. Only women can be pregnant and breastfeed.
20. It’s OK to lose in competitive sports, and second place trophies don’t help anyone (but also see # 7).
21. More police, not defund the police.
22. We don’t tear up the past, we learn from it.
23. This list is not exhaustive.
See post #29
Beware of this guy.
Thank you! The list should have been included in post #1.
Love Crowder but no fan of the eye patch guy. He has proven disloyal.
Crenshaw = McCain 2.0 = turd
Nothing Dan Crenshaw puts out is a must read. He’s just aother RINO.
Yup - Dan “Red Flag” Crenshaw is another establishment tool.
You got that right!
He’s a Republican.
