I’ve watched with growing concern how the left has gone from calling for inclusivity to creating an environment where dissenting voices are shamed and shut out.

They say they want open dialogue, but when conservatives speak, they don’t debate us, they try to erase us.

When you claim to be for freedom and equality, yet work to silence your opposition, you’re showing the very authoritarianism you say you’re against.

That contradiction is what I call Leftist Fascism, and it’s something worth resisting.

As a conservative of color, the hypocrisy cuts even deeper. I’ve seen firsthand how quickly the same people who wave the banner of diversity turn hostile when my opinions don’t match theirs.

They’ll uplift voices that echo their ideology, but the second someone like me steps out of line, I’m treated as though I’ve betrayed some unspoken code. Diversity only matters to them if it’s ideological conformity dressed up as representation. That’s a dangerous game that undermines the very foundation of free thought.

When they cheer on silencing and bullying, they reveal the truth: they don’t want dialogue, they want dominance.

I refuse to accept that. I won’t be bullied into leaving or silenced for speaking my mind.

I’m here because I believe conservative perspectives deserve a place at the table, even when it makes others uncomfortable.

If we give in to their tactics, we surrender freedom itself. And I won’t be part of that surrender.
