Such examples include sexism against women by virtue of their gender, denouncement of racism while simultaneously denouncing people of color by virtue of their skin color, denouncement of any economic philosophy alien to Capitalism, Christian apologetics, Islamophobia, American Exceptionalism, etc.
Some on the Regressive Right completely ignore the entire Bill of Rights except for the 2nd amendment, disregarding the benefits of secularism under the pretense that America is a Christian nation.
