      Joshua Tait Retweeted Thomas Sugrue

      I am adding a long thread of stuff to this essay by @HeerJeet on National Review and William F. Buckley's relationship with race, especially around the early 1960s.https://twitter.com/TomSugrue/status/1039191489266573313 …

      Joshua Tait added,

      Thomas SugrueVerified account @TomSugrue
      Are conservatives good historians of conservatism? @HeerJeet weighs in with an emphatic "no." Focusing on Buckley and NR, he concludes: "they almost always (with a few brave exceptions) whitewash the past to ignore or minimize the role played by racism." https://newrepublic.com/article/151127/conservatives-know-much-conservative-history …

      But I think conservative elites do play a role in helping develop those dog whistles.

          15. And I haven't yet seen a satisfactory lib. pol. hist. explanation for the rise of Trump; in fact, efforts by Never-Trumpers like Frum to offer one are met with lib. criticism that conservatism has always been vile (so what changed in 2016?): https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/08/dinesh-dsouza-is-making-a-comeback/567233/ …
