Is abortion murder? Does regulation destroy jobs? Is white privilege a lie? Conservative talking points are everywhere, and through well-funded media like \u003ci\u003eFox News\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBreitbart\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eYouTube\u003c\/i\u003e's \"Prager University,\" the right has an impressive record of packaging its views for a general audience. Clearly, the left needs to do a better job of fighting back. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLuckily, \u003ci\u003eCurrent Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e editor Nathan J. Robinson has developed a reputation as a meticulous slayer of irrational and bigoted arguments. He has tangled with the likes of Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and Charles Murray, exposing their flimsy logic and distorted facts with forensic thoroughness and savage wit. In \u003ci\u003eResponding to the Right\u003c\/i\u003e, Robinson blasts right-wing nonsense with devastating intellectual weaponry, revealing how everyone from Ann Coulter to the \u003ci\u003eNational Review\u003c\/i\u003e uses fear and lies to manipulate the public. He gives a detailed explanation of how conservative arguments work and why we need to resist them, then goes through twenty-five separate talking points, showing precisely why each one fails. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis essential handbook is a stimulating source of issues to debate and a comprehensive challenge to dozens of dominant orthodoxies. It sets a new standard for leftist critique, and would be an invaluable addition to the arsenals of the millions of progressives fighting the political battles of our age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250777744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nathan J.
