Episode notes
Conservative Movement's Crisis Of Conscience
- The conservative movement faces a crisis of conscience born from two decades of frustration and institutional failures.
- That crisis risks throwing out core conservative principles rather than reforming and adapting them for today.
Populism Evolved From Legitimate Grievance
- Populism rose from grassroots frustration with Republican leadership after 2000 and evolved into a dangerous force for the right.
- That populism now threatens the three legs of conservatism: defense, social conservatism, and limited government.
Fuentes' Rhetoric Has No Place In Conservatism
- Nick Fuentes' rhetoric is morally repugnant and has no place in the conservative movement.
- Chapman warns tolerating such voices risks allowing a 'cancerous agent' to destroy the movement from within.
