Now conservatives aren't leftists, because leftism and liberalsim are not the same thing.
But leftism is the icing that everyone sees on a cake, whereas liberalism is all the batter that makes up the cake. Most conservatives unknowingly accept the bread part of the cake without realizing it, but reject wokeism, not realizing they are natural extensions of each other.
To define what you must believe to not be a liberal
-
Women getting the right to vote was incredibly foolish, one of the most foolish things any society has ever done...the two sexes are very diffferent, they have different roles. Determining the fate of a nation is not one of them
-
The civil rights act of 1965 was a horrible thing
-
Thinking that white society as it behaves is better than black society as a general as they behave is not a racist thing, it's just a neutral observation
-
More things that I can't think of right now, but those are the majors.
I would say most conservatives would sort of get nervous and go "well I wouldn't go that far" or "I think women should be allowed to vote" or any number of things on those main issues.
I'd say 99% of Americans and Westerners in general are liberal.
You don't have to be a neo nazi or white nationalist to be not a liberal, but you have to at least reject white guilt completely.
In a nutshell:
Prior - The discriminated person had to be discriminated and bring a suit against the offender.
Post - The Government could observe a situation where no-one felt discriminated against, and bring federal charges based on their observation of a situation. (Regardless if the person involved wanted those charges brought)
It essentially meant the government could drop federal charges on you for any reason at any time, so they only rational response was to be as anti racist as possible.
It would be akin to the government suddenly declaring that they were going to give you speeding tickets at any time anywhere but not tell you what the speed limits they were using were. You'd have to drive at 10 mph at all times just in case.
