Who Are We?


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.

  2. 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?

  3. Trumpism is good with secure borders, economic nationalism, interests-based foreign policy, and above all judging every government action through a single lens.
