At 404 Media, we also talk to experts and those impacted by policies like book bans while the US government continues to push through safeguards on AI with tech giants.

We can never just admit that conservative ideas are bad. We have to excuse their badness as a reaction to something liberals said or did. When that fails, we have to act like they are somehow a betrayal of other, better conservative ideas instead of just their natural endpoint.
