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:
Trump would do it if the Republicans would give him cover, but they won’t.
It’s time for a new party.
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.
agree. our side still has too much to lose. however, by the time we have the gumption to fight back it may be too late. we are a fragmented and disorganized body of people without a leader or a banner. They are collectivists by nature, are very organized and have their banner unfurled. At this pace, they will only need small ‘mop up’ ops to seal the deal for their side. We are way back on our heels.
“Many mainline Christian churches including the American Catholic church, are prisoners of “Progressivism”.”
The churches may be in the hands of the enemy, but the faithful can vote with their feet.
agree with your assessment completely. Social Media has become our modern ‘town square’ and it’s where the Marxist Puritans call the citizens out to comply and adhere or be put in the stocks. So far, it’s working very, very well for them.
Thank you. So, The Communist Manifesto was more of a set of guidelines as opposed to a set of hard and fast rules. A worldview, if you will. Or a mindset?
“What’s a liberal?”
Fascist Murderer would be my vote
Death toll > 100 million and counting
Praying for a Pinochet before it’s too late. Trump is good but we need a Pinochet.
At half in ads
No question
I think we have known for a long time that we cannot coexist with these Marxists and it’s my belief Trump was the right guy to get us to this inevitable point, but he is not the right guy to get us to a successful outcome from here.

Yes a virtual town square. great analogy.
we talk a mean game on all the comment sections of all the conservative sites but its just talk.
I agree with what tim pool said the other day on his podcast. If trump wins
the left will riot like they have never rioted before. They will try to force
change through heavy violence. If biden wins conservatives will complain
but nothing else will happen. A biden admin will move to placate the
radical part of his party and we will move further and further toward the
abyss. All without so much as a whimper from the right/conservatives.
We are just too damn passive.......
If you’ve ever heard of Stone Mountain, GA, what do you think would be the biggest attraction?
Good luck finding it.

I think what you describe is definitely possible.
Eventually they will have to be euthanized.
Well, generally, people will put up with
“...a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object...”
until such time as they finally reach a breaking point.
“Trump is good but we need a Pinochet.”
What worries me is that Pinochet only suppressed evil temporarily.
Even the cops have been taking a knee... :(
If elected, there’s a good chance that Biden will resign shortly thereafter, his radical VP will appoint another as a VP and away we go...
