While FAIR was promoted (based on how I understood it) to be collaborative effort that would allow diversity of thought regardless of political affiliation to be included in the broader effort with civil liberties as one of its core principles. As time went it appeared to just morph into one more dumping ground for the progressive lite bunch. Way too much promoting the same tired bunch of public intellectuals that includes folks like Michael Shermer, Steven Pinker and others that already have massive platforms. Good people but firmly influenced by a similar ideology. Relative to action and results, I see very little. FAIR developed some obnoxious alternative to CRT and critical race studies which indicates they don't have the stomach for a real fight. Same toxic garbage just kinder and gentler. They trash folks like Chris Rufu who in fact does fight and has results. The FAIR bunch while pretending to be inclusive has nothing but disdain for conservatives. I don't say that easily and only speak for myself. FAIR did promote the launching of local chapters and when I contacted those that were establishing our regional chapter it was made very clear to me from day one that they will use the FAIR franchise, but they have the authority to interpret and develop an autonomous strategy. I live in the west so please imagine what that would look like if you are not a progressive. Please make you own decision. The fight for civil liberties is real but results matter. Thanks for asking and good lucK.
