Debating Anti-Liberalism and Conservatism

The chapter delves into the debate surrounding the labeling of individuals within a movement to preserve liberal values. It explores the disagreement over categorizing those upholding liberal principles as anti-liberal based on analytical stances, with a focus on figures like Justice Scalia and Reagan. The discussion questions the coherence and intentions behind anti-liberalism and conservatism, reflecting on historical contexts, the rise of Trump, and the challenges in distinguishing illiberal from liberal actions.
