Who are you?
You mean in the Samuel
Huntington sense? We are American patriots aghast at the stupidity and
corruption of American politics, particularly in the Republican Party, and
above all in what passes for the “conservative” intellectual movement.
No, literally—who are you
guys?
None of your damned
business.
Why won’t you tell us?
Because the times are so
corrupt that simply stating certain truths is enough to make one unemployable
for life.
That’s a bit dramatic,
isn’t it?
Ask Brendan Eich.
Do you really support
Trump?
We support Trumpism,
defined as secure borders, economic nationalism, interests-based foreign
policy, and above all judging every government action through a single lens:
does this help or harm Americans? For now, the principal vehicle of
Trumpism is Trump.
Is this journal pro-Trump
or anti-conservative?
Yes.
So you admit that Trump
is not conservative?
That Trump is not
“conservative” in the conventional sense defined by pundits, we regard as a
feature, not a bug. Trump, or at least Trumpism, is more conservative in
the decisive sense of actually seeking to conserve the American nation and what
is good about it and within it.

ReplyDeleteI noticed you link to Google cache, but the link I looked at (on Trump and the judge) was dead. I found the article reprinted on another blog, tho...
The text of "Who Are We" is from the old cached page, which I no longer have access to. Do you have a link for the blog you found it at?
ReplyDeleteTrumpism is good with secure borders, economic nationalism, interests-based foreign policy, and above all judging every government action through a single lens.
