      Not just libertarians! All wings of the political right (theocrats, traditionalists, nationalists etc) distrust democracy on some level & often hostile to it. (Neocons instrumentalized democracy talk but that was also bad). https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1397642686899818499 …

      As @lionel_trolling (may his name be a blessing) noted, many conservative intellectuals are pretty upfront about not wanting democracy. We should take them at their word.

      My big piece on Willmoore Kendall is really about how even the right-wingers who are most ostensibly pro-democratic always have an escape hatch.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/racism-and-the-paradox-of-anti-democratic?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          both facinating & terrifying to read how highly intelligent figures n history hav the ability 2 turn ideas upside down so that they can claim 2 b fighting 4 the masses when time proves they r only fighting 4 a system that is racist & authoritarian (w them at the top, of course)

          At Georgetown U. in early 1960s I attended a lecture by Kendall - yes a serious thinker. Another conservative professor there - George W. Carey - was an associate of Kendall.
