      13. Yet he understands the need for "a right-of-center program that is detached from the conservative movement" -- and also the inherent disadvantages of trying to devise a public philosophy that doesn't depend upon ideology or modifications to existing GOP policy approaches

      14. We differ, of course, on the question of whether the GOP needs to "die in a fire"; I think it's possible to regenerate the party from the bottom up, as shown by surprising moderate victories over Tea Party conservatives in red states like KS and OKhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/moderate-republicans-arent-dead-theyre-hiding-in-plain-sight/2018/11/09/268c7b1c-e365-11e8-ab2c-b31dcd53ca6b_story.html?utm_term=.dee5df317c65 …

      15. Chait also shares the view that (in Charlie Sykes' paraphrase) "Trump is proof that conservatism was always and everywhere thoroughly racist, morally bankrupt, and populated with hypocrites and authoritarians"; I prefer the "recessive gene" theoryhttps://www.weeklystandard.com/charles-j-sykes/debating-the-once-and-future-conservatism …

      16. But Chait sees clearly that Niskanen is trying to envision "what a well-functioning right-of-center party ought to stand for" -- and even if he thinks the odds are against us, we are fortunate to have such an intelligent and perceptive critic

      17. The final article of note is Mark Lilla's NYRB analysis of the French right, which -- needless to say! -- is not a movement with which Niskanen has the slightest sympathyhttps://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/12/20/two-roads-for-the-new-french-right/ …

      18. Nonetheless, Lilla does an admirable job of pointing out that a right-wing Popular Front is taking shape in Europe & is dangerous precisely because it has a coherent worldview that both the establishment left and right lack. He also sees the need for a center-right counter...

      20. The center-right may thus be better positioned than the left to successfully oppose the far right & thereby preserve the liberal-democratic values that undergird our political system; it's refreshing to see a liberal analyst acknowledge this reality

      Lilla is a liberal only in the most attenuated meaning of the term. He's a Public Interest neo-conservative.

      I think we can agree that we live in a moment when the traditional political labels are becoming problematic
