Deep dives
The New Conservative Movement
The upcoming election is seen not merely as an end but as a beginning for a new conservative movement aimed at governing effectively in America. This movement is united in its opposition to the perceived excesses of the left but lacks a cohesive agenda that transcends this shared animosity. As conservatives contemplate a potential majority in the Senate, there is a pressing need to understand the underlying factions that inform this coalition. The complexities of these factions, particularly the traditional divides between neoconservatism and America First ideals, call for deeper discourse on their respective goals and principles beyond just opposing left-leaning policies.
