      I mean, there's obviously Phyllis Schalfly and the STOP-ERA movement, which has Birchers and former Birchers all over it. But then there's stuff like Chuck Grassley speaking to the Liberty Lobby, or the chairman of ALEC in 1979 having been on the Birch speaker circuit.pic.twitter.com/KG4pR5wb99

      Group Research's reports are invaluable here in tracing the linkages. (This is from a 1980 newsletter.)

      I mean, the "purge" substantively amounted to Buckley saying some mean things about them in print in 1965 and generally ignoring them afterwards. That's basically it.

      I mean, it’s not a surprise if you’ve read Lisa McGirr, but this from Group Research on the “New Right” of the 1970s is perceptive: The “New Right” was a strategic rebranding of the old right including many of the same old people and organizations…pic.twitter.com/q5v0v5Wq7K

      Hell, Reagan tried to appoint Warren S. Richardson, former general counsel for the Liberty Lobby, to be Assistant Secretary of HHS. He literally worked alongside Pedro Del Valle!pic.twitter.com/oYDw67KpSX

      Not only were the Birchers never "purged," neither was the f*cking Liberty Lobby!

      None of Buckley's purges amounted to much. I mean he "purged" Ayn Rand and she continued to sell in the millions and have an organized base.

      Buckley's "setting the boundaries of conservatism" basically amounted to "here is who I, William F. Buckley, Jr., the wealthy New York intellectual conservative, do not want to sit with at a dinner party."

      One gets the impression that the proto-alt-right figures who blame Buckley for destroying their careers (although they still very much had/have renumerative jobs) really also just meant they weren't invited to the right cocktail parties.

      Isn't this the basis of why Trump's "anti-elite" posturing worked? Not that he himself was anything but an elite, but that the other elites didn't want anything to do with him.

      Exactly. Trump was snubbed by New York society, which genuinely enraged him and gave an edge to his animus against "elites." This genuine rage made it easier for ordinary Republicans, with other grievances, to relate to Trump.

          The "anti-elitism" of a Page Six obsession. Nice.
