Evolving Perspectives on Conservatism

The understanding of the right, and particularly conservatism, is shaped by a broader context beyond isolated events or issues. Historical narratives, such as those found in Sam Tannenhaus's 'The Death of Conservatism', illustrate a continuity and discontinuity in political thought. The evolution of ideas surrounding Trumpism, MAGA, and the far-right movements prompts a reevaluation of what elements are preservation of tradition and which are genuinely innovative. Engaging with these historical frameworks shows the interconnectedness of current political discourse with past ideological developments.
