To find out how willing liberal Americans are to jettison the country’s cultural identity, I decided to ask what I thought were outlandish questions,' writes the survey author. 'The answers I received amazed me.'
Seventy percent of self-identified “liberals” want to rewrite the U.S. Constitution “to a new American constitution that better reflects our diversity as a people,” according to survey results published in Quillette this week. Seventy-nine percent of self-identified “very liberal” respondents agreed with this suggestion.
Seventy-six and 81 percent of “liberal” and “very liberal” respondents supported the idea to “Rebalance the art shown in museums across the country until an analysis of content shows that it reflects the demography of the population and perspective of Native people and citizens of color.” Seventy-one and 80 percent of these groups, respectively, supported this idea: “Move, after public consultation, to a new American anthem that better reflects our diversity as a people.”
These were the cultural upheavals that received the highest support among the survey’s 16 suggested options, but liberals in the survey also supported many others. The survey was run by Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at Birkbeck College in the University of London, and administered to 870 Americans recruited from the Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific Academic platforms that researchers frequently use for such surveys.
“In order to find out how willing liberal Americans are to jettison the country’s cultural identity, I decided, on May 7th, to ask what I thought were outlandish questions…” he wrote. “The answers I received amazed me. I then repeated the exercise on June 15th, after the George Floyd killing and subsequent protests to see whether things had gotten even crazier. It turns out they have.”
“Respondents on these platforms lean young, liberal, and white,” Kaufmann noted, but he wanted that, as these groups are the most politically extreme. After getting the survey results, he focused on the 414 respondents who identified themselves as “liberal” or “very liberal.”
He had asked them to disagree or agree with 16 questions that aimed to gauge support for “a radical blow to American cultural nationhood.” Besides the three mentioned above, the next most supported changes were, in order:
Speaking of which, does Russia still operate under The Communist Manifesto? Or did it ever?
Someone like Pinochet. Plenary powers. Time to vote ourselves out of this passed long ago.
My kids have attended public schools and universities, and both are solid conservatives.
My attempt to put a stop to all this madness looks like a Blackhawk Sherpa retention holster, containing a Taurus PT24/7 with 15 rounds of mostly peaceful .40 cal. hollow points.
We’ve got to take responsibility for ourselves first.
This is why I’ve been skeptical of any so-called conventions.
The Left is much better at government.
Affirmative Action for EVERYTHING!
Our children have been specifically targeted for around a century by our pubic schools, news, media, churches and now social media.
We had John Dewey’s early 1900’s Progressive (Marxist) education influence, followed by The Frankfurt School’s mid-1900’s cultural Marxist plan for children, then Hollywood’s 1950’s communist influences, then NEA’s No God push in our schools.
Then, the 1960’s CPUSA push of college youts for war protests, drug use and wanton fornication, then the 1980’s sitcoms ridiculing parents, then the 1990’s queer push, then the 2000’s self-esteem facade.
Now, MSM, SJW groups and social media are feeding their ignorance, arrogance and anarchistic tendencies.
They divided the empire in two.
The Western Roman empire fell in 476 and Eastern Roman empire fell in 1453. Almost a thousand years later.
Not too bad when you think about human history and how quickly things change.
Some will call me a pessimist but I prefer to call myself objective and pragmatic. Now, a LOT can change in four months as we have seen, so anything is possible, but on this current trajectory I believe Trump is doomed. The demographics have shifted too much and the Dem election fraud will be worth many points in their favor. If they win, they will never cede power again and will implement the most extreme Marxist form of government we can imagine, and then some. Any wealth you have accumulated will be taken from you given to others, your freedom of speech removed and your weapons confiscated. You will be forced to live as a second class subject at best. At worst, you end up in a mass grave, which is very common when the Marxists successfully gain power. We will be forced to make some very serious decisions. We are totally unorganized and leaderless. No doubt that we are in the fight of our lives.
Civil War or something that resembles it is inevitable. I know of no thing that can avert it at this point.
“Does anyone anywhere in America have any idea how we put a stop to all of this, much less how do we save our American Republic from the marxist Democrat/Left, the racist BLM, the terrorist Antifa, et al.? Much of this damage to our society appears to be irreversible ...”
I think most people know where this is going and what needs to be done
to stop this leftist march. However, I KNOW that the huge majority of
of right thinking people don’t have the stomach to do whats necessary
to stop this destruction of our way of life.
full on Marxist takeover... virtually no resistance. They must be shocked at much ground they have gained in just 90 days. Maybe not, which is why they made their move. We are being totally routed.

90 Days? This has been going on for a few decades..slowly. That’s what they’re good at the boiling frog approach. they always start with low hanging fruit; confederacy. Then they keep marching on and on. they are NEVER happy to say “okay that’s good”. Nope. Never ending march to destruction. Everywhere Marxism and Communism is tried.
And about half of “committed” couples are Black/White pairs.
Many mainline Christian churches including the American Catholic church, are prisoners of “Progressivism”.
They are not for the State of Isreal.
I understand but their gains in the last 90 days have been staggering. That’s what I am referencing.
Are Trump and Republicans ever going to get off their axx and act? The reality is racist Democrats who run every aspect Minneapolis and most of Minnesota government - Governor, mayor, council, police chief and all related policies KILLED GEORGE FLOYD, not conservatives. They need to start speaking up instead of cowering.
Minnesota is where this sedition started.
“However, I KNOW that the huge majority of right thinking people don’t have the stomach to do what’s necessary to stop this destruction of our way of life.”
How do you know that?
I get it.
I think it’s really ramped up since social media and big tech have teamed up to push the cultural Marxist narrative and ban all speech by conservatives. It’s a total psych ops. People want to be liked and get along and this plays into social media and their “if you’re not with us than you’re a racists, bigot homophobic” blah blah. Most on social media are leftist actives and bots and trolls, yet it rules all of news and society.
