Drehering

Coronavirus & Conservatism’s Future by Rod Dreher
Of 'folk libertarianism,' and what the pandemic reveals about the American right

Here’s why it worries me. It’s not really about Trump, but what comes after Trump. To repeat: the Trump presidency, especially in how the president has responded to this unprecedented crisis (with the strong support of his usual followers), has unveiled the feebleness of philosophical conservatism. It’s not conservative at all; it’s just a species of right-wingery.


Something better: Orwell & SJWs
If the sworn left-wing enemy of cant were writing today, would he be able to publish in elite liberal journals?
