William F. Buckley's grand-nephew being part of the Jan. 6 riot kind of gives lie to the idea that Trumpism is a great swerve from historical American conservatism.

Your assumptions about identity politics are smugly nonsensical. Familial dynasties *may* exist. So what? Ideology isn't something that's by definition passed down across generations. If it was, you'd have a hard time explaining Christopher Buckley's support of Obama.

That’s nice. Now do Ron Reagan.

Ron explicitly rejected his parents' ideology in public. There's no sign that Bozell, whose father runs multiple Trumpist groups and concerns and whose grampa--Buckley's bro in law, who worked for McCarthy--has fallen far from the tree.

Hey ... yo ... Bey ... what percentage of R voters could identify whom Buckley is, what his ideology is, and why he was important? Your point is literally absurd.

Most of them have no clue who Rupert Murdoch is, either.
