Episode notes
Conservative Movement Reformulation
- The conservative movement is being reformulated, not abandoning its principles.
- This involves adapting to current circumstances and potentially reclaiming the West.
Family-First Conservatism
- The new conservative focus is on the family unit (mom, dad, and kids).
- This lens helps to prioritize and align national security, free market, and social conservative policies.
Government Crowding Out Intermediate Institutions
- Government welfare programs crowd out intermediate institutions that traditionally formed communities and support networks.
- Churches and synagogues, for example, used to provide safety nets tied to shared values and mutual obligations.
