Congratulations, Mr. Rufo. I know you are a family man. I pray your book mends the facture to the family created by the radical left. Mankind is in your debt. Thank you.

I can't wait to read this book. This book, along with many other people who are speaking out represents how things are turning around, hopefully to something more sane, logical and healthy, for all Americans. There is push-back to the crazy, radical left, and its starting this year with many things, including 2023 being the year that Transgender De-transitioners are exploding onto the public scene and telling their stories of regret, coercion and misconduct by doctors and others who push the sterilization of our young gay and lesbian youth. I know your book takes on many topics and can't wait to read it. Thank you!

Congratulations! I wish you success. You deserve it. I would like to make a request if you read this...

I worked for a major healthcare corp until recently. The DEI department has been discriminating against white heterosexual men in a pernicious, opaque way. Of course policy states that they don't discriminate based on sex, race etc but strive to attract a diverse candidate pool. This is how the con job works..

DEI states that they advocate for 'marginalized groups' which as you know is everyone EXCEPT heterosexual white males. I verified this. However, they have 4 primary goals found on the front page of their website. They are graphs showing progress in meeting these goals. These graphs are sent company-wide weekly and in staff meetings. All involve an increase in hiring/promoting 'marginalized groups'.

One goal in particular is increasing the number of women in management. In healthcare their are the 'HEAL' fields focused on people. (nursing, counciling, HR). Then theirs 'STEM' fields focused on things. (Scientists, doctors, researchers, engineers). The HEAL fields are overwhelming dominated by women at all levels. The 'STEM' fields are dominated by men although that is changing.

Their is NO goal to increase men in 'HEAL' fields. It's not even mentioned. The end result is that we are seeing women dominate ALL aspects of healthcare very quickly. The preferences start at the upper graduate level like medical schools. Not to mention the numerous women's networking groups that help each other out, scholarships and government grants.

We all know that hiring is subjective unless the only criteria is quantified such as a test. If managers are repeatedly told that theirs a goal and given continuous feedback on its progress, it will change hiring/promotion behavior. Not to mention the rewards for helping met those goals. All of this is done without ever explicitly stating that heterosexual white men are the least desirable. We are quickly seeing the result of this with women and minorites dominating every aspect of healthcare.

It hurts everyone. Who will be providing healthcare for you or a loved one in the future? What prospects does that offer a young heterosexual white men? This can also put an unspoken stigma on women or minority healthcare providers. (Ie, were they hired for a reason other than merit?) Discrimination is immoral and illegal.

How do we fight this evil, implicit power grab of our healthcare system?

I was a bit rushed when I wrote my comment above. I had forgotten to say that your work has given me hope for the future of our country. It is truly inspiring considering the incredible personal & professional challenges you have had to overcome. I've started reading your book and it's a great read.

Yes! Once you put faces on the craziness, show their petty, vindictive, shameful lives and the utter crassness of their beliefs, they no longer have the power of acting from the shadows as if they were some invincible moral force.

Rotten people. Rotten politics.

Congratulations on your hard work and on the release of your book.

Requested that our library buy it - I’ll be curious if they will or not. If not, I’ll be buying it myself.

I hope it gets more reviews soon. One of them is pretty negative, but it’s not a verified purchase so I suspect the person didn’t actually read it. His whole review is on the excerpt. Sounds fishy to me!

Me too! I just requested that our public library purchase it. I've successfully asked them to buy books by conservative authors before. We'll see what happens.

I spent 15 years watching the revolution unfold in academia in New York City. So far, what I’m reading in Rufo’s book is the same thing I heard from the campus revolutionaries. I’m looking forward to reading the rest.

I must say, having been in the room with the radicals, the dynamic of these groups reminds me of Peoples Temple. It’s a bunch of wealthy white people who exploit minorities to gain power for themselves. And they lie. They plot and they lie. They don’t care about minorities. Just watch what happens when one of us uppity minorities (I’m gay) dare to disagree with their doctrines. I think the radicals are terrified that the minorities will denounce them.

The culture war makes a whole lot more sense once you realize it's just the same old class war dressed up in a fancy new coat.
