@jledbetter Yes and no. There as a revolt against FDR but it was a more elitist, old fashioned right (Nock, Menken, etc). 1/21 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@jledbetter Sure, but I see that as "the Old Right" as distinct from 1950s New Right. Some overlap but there is something new born in 1950s2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

@jledbetter Agree but I also see something new emerging in 1950s: more intense hatred of moderate/elite GOP (the RINOs).
