The US is conservative? Are we talking about the same place that's been the social justice woke ideology fountainhead since forever?

The one where a man can one day declare he's now a woman because he say's so - and that'll get him on the cover of a magazine as a "hero"?

What's your starting point for left - Mao?

Try watching/reading less trash media? I'm not the one buying or paying attention to such magazines. I don't know why you are, especially if you apparently hate them so much. Or alternatively just get over whatever "wide stance" internal conflict you have, and come to terms with your own desires.

Wouldn't self-determination of individuals and magazines be at home both with progressives and libertarians?

[jalapenos]

I mean it'd be at home with lunatic asylums too depending on what you self-determine but yeah sure

Very little of that is true. We as a nation, just went through demonization of "woke" and spent a lot of effort getting rid of what DEI we had. "Woke", "DEI", "CRT", social justice and "BLM" are now officially and de facto anathema. We've had lawsuits over them, they lost.

On the other hand, movement conservatism is anathema as well. Free trade is out, state's rights abandoned, except maybe as the exception that proves the rule, governmental power concentrated in Trump personally, rather than small, local government, representative democracy, lower taxes, less regulation, rule of law. Freedom of speech reduced to conservative speech getting special treatment. All also gone. Weird.
