It has been a little more surprising to be simultaneously vilified by the far right as a dangerous left-winger. David Horowitz’s FrontPage magazine accused me of going “full leftist” for acknowledging that racism and sexism remain pervasive problems. Breitbart called me, with ironic quotation marks, the “Washington Post’s ostensibly new ‘conservative’ columnist,” because, among other sins, I support gun control and immigration. The career of Dinesh D’Souza is indicative of the downward trajectory of conservatism. Then he wrote a widely panned 1995 book claiming that racism was no more, and it was all downhill from there.
