    On the history of the John Birch Society and the wide right, there's a wide discrepancy between the story commonly told by journalists and what the best current scholarship shows.https://twitter.com/eh_miller/status/1515316117622906882 …

        It amuses me when DC journos express puzzlement over Mike Allen not disclosing his address, even to friends and coworkers. It never occurs to these deep thinkers that maybe, just maybe, he learned this kind of paranoid behavior from the elder Mike Allen-- a founding Bircher.

        Charlie’s identity is too wrapped up into this. It is all “disavow” where you pretend B does not know C, yet A knows C and … A makes sure B and C are in the same direction. This is politics, Buckley purged the Birchers to make Republicans appear respectable yet Republicans…

        still loved Birchers votes and organizing (even if the organizing could be better.) The purge happened in August, Sept, and Oct of 1965 aka after Goldwater’s loss. It was much like the 2012 RNC Autopsy a face saving document for the press.

        The road from Kochs' teenage infatuation with the Birchers via the Austrian School to espousing right-wing mainstream libertarianism was probably shorter than most people realize.

        There's a little bit too much *post hoc* in this "the Birchers set the agenda for the Reagan Revolution" business. Reagan was denouncing high taxes long before TRIM.
