These criteria have been abandoned in favor of a system of widespread illegal immigration that erodes the rights of citizens.

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss how to resist the efforts of the modern Left before introducing Hillsdale College Politics professor Kevin Slack.

The change is not simply the natural conclusion of progressivism, but rather a series of radical movements that have provided new ideas and shifted the Left from the liberalism of Franklin Roosevelt to the Great Awokening of Barack Obama’s second term.
Identity politics as presented by the modern Left rests on fundamental logical fallacies and has only been implemented through political force. The modern bureaucratic state that has emerged to do this has fundamentally destroyed equal citizenship.
