Episode notes
Movement Shift After Victory
- National Conservatism has moved from insurgent to ascendant because personnel and ideas entered the Trump administration.
- Winning power forces the movement to shift from auditioning to governing and managing coalitions.

- With office comes report-card politics: panels featured bureaucrats reporting implementation, not audition speeches.
- That change reduced contention and made many sessions more consensual than last year's debates.

- Event organizers should avoid oversized rooms that make sessions feel empty and sap speaker energy.
- Arrange seating and stages to keep audience engagement and maintain perceived enthusiasm.
