Understanding the New Right Movement

The New Right movement represents a significant shift in American conservatism, aiming to dismantle traditional political institutions and is often characterized by its nationalist tendencies. This faction moves away from the previously dominant libertarian ideals, seeking to address economic issues and promote a populist agenda that resonates with disaffected voters. The new right contrasts sharply with established Republican figures, advocating for radical changes in governance while engaging in debates over the implications of liberal democracy. It includes a diverse coalition of thinkers and funders who collectively aspire for a political landscape less influenced by traditional liberal values.
