Lopsided: How a 50/50 Common Sense Nation Drifted into a Progressive Dystopian Cartoon and How we Might Claw our way Back

by Dave Martin

America today is lopsided. Although there are millions of Americans who disagree with the prevailing progressive orthodoxy, they nevertheless tolerate it to avoid heated debate. Meanwhile, progressives push their agenda relentlessly and passionately and have achieved dominance over many American institutions including the News Media, Big Tech, Education, entertainment, bureaucracy, and big business. These institutions operate outside the confines of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. This book describes the who, what, how, and why of the progressive agenda and suggests ways to slow down the deterioration of America.

A Conservative Critique of Modern America...

Dave Martin's "Lopsided" provides a fascinating critique of contemporary American culture, stating that progressive ideology has achieved disproportionate influence despite a roughly equal divide in public opinion. Martin claims that many Americans who disagree with progressive viewpoints remain mute in order to avoid conflict, allowing this ideology to dominate critical institutions. The author provides a thorough assessment of how progressivism has invaded media, technology, education, and business. He claims that these industries now act in ways that may violate constitutional norms.

While Martin's viewpoint is obviously conservative, he makes an effort to present evidence for his allegations and proposes potential solutions to what he perceives as an imbalance in American debate and policy. The book may appeal to readers who feel marginalized by current cultural trends, but it is likely to spark debate among others who disagree. "Lopsided" is a call to action for people concerned about the future of American society, but readers should read it critically and consider different perspectives on these complicated topics. Recommended.
