This 1950 book, written by a Frankfurt school theorist, was mentioned as laying the foundation for the idea that only the political right had authoritarian personalities, based on what the speaker called flawed social science research.
"
This springs, we're gonna do a little bit of a history and political philosophy lesson here. This springs from a book from 1950 from a guy named Theodor Adorno. So Adorno was a Frankfurt school theorist. [...] And in 1950, he put out a book called The Authoritarian Personality.
Now the book is deeply flawed. It is based on faulty social science research, but it makes the basic argument that there are people who are sort of proto-fascists and then America turns out these proto-fascists.

Antiracist Baby Picture Book
The speaker strongly criticized this children's book, claiming it was garbage for children and an effort to indoctrinate babies into believing that every institution must be torn down unless deemed anti-racist by the author.

I'm so glad that we read anti-racist baby by Ibram Kendi if you read this to a child your child is seven times stupider and 23,000 times a worst person than if they never read this book.

you think that because some extreme right or left-wing party has say the support of 10 of the population their candidate will get 10 percent of the votes no these baseline voters should be classified as inflexible and will always vote for their faction some of the flexible voters can also vote for that extreme faction
