Buck Sexton’s appearance on national platforms this week reminded viewers that the battle for truth is not abstract — it’s being waged in classrooms, newsrooms, and corporate boardrooms under the guise of academic progress. Sexton’s new book, Manufacturing Delusion, argues that what passes for mainstream ideology on issues like gender is less a matter of honest debate than a coordinated campaign to reshape reality itself.
Drawing on years in intelligence and counterterrorism, Sexton lays out a chilling comparison between historical totalitarian tactics and modern left-wing messaging, claiming the same psychological levers are being pulled to produce compliance. He points to examples ranging from public-health narratives to the rapid redefinition of gender as signs that mass persuasion is being weaponized.
Sexton’s background in the CIA and his time briefing senior officials give weight to his contention that manufactured belief systems are not accidental byproducts but deliberate plays from a playbook used by authoritarian movements. He insists this is not mere hyperbole but an observable strategy: get citizens to accept false premises first, then transform institutions around those premises.
On air and in his podcasts, Sexton specifically called out the gender revolution as an early and dangerous front in this effort, noting that persuading people to assert what they know to be untrue is a classic technique to erode shared reality. That erosion, he warns, is the prerequisite for deeper political and cultural control — a point conservatives should treat as a national-security concern rather than a mere culture-war talking point.
Conservative observers should not shrink from naming the responsible actors: elite institutions, woke corporations, and a compliant media ecosystem that amplifies the same talking points until dissent is delegitimized. The left’s pattern of messaging, Sexton argues, mirrors the indoctrination tactics of past regimes — constant repetition, moral intimidation, and weaponized empathy — all used to cow opposition into silence.
The proper conservative response is not reflexive anger but organized clarity: defend free speech, insist on honest curricula, and restore parental authority over education so young minds aren’t prime targets for social engineering. If the claims in Manufacturing Delusion hold, complacency is the luxury of those who have already ceded control of key cultural levers.
Buck Sexton’s book hit shelves on February 17, 2026, and it’s pitched as more than polemic — it’s a call to recognize techniques of control and to resist them by recovering common-sense standards of truth. Whether one agrees with every assertion, the conservative case is simple: a free society cannot survive if reality itself becomes negotiable.
