      10. The thing with paleo-cons purged is they didn't go away: they continued to have audience & were precursors to Trumpism

      11. Not sufficiently appreciated (except by @michaelbd) that Sam Francis & Pat Buchanan were fathers of alt-right, key Trumpist movement.

      12 So, one big thought is that ability of National Review to purge people on the right tends to be overstated by historians/journalists.

      13. To extent that NR did once have power to purge, that was in very different media environment than exists now.

      14. NR's power in 1960s was that it was one of the few national outlets for conservative movement. That's not true anymore.

      15. In 1965, if Time Magazine or Washington Post wanted to find out what "the right" thought, NR was one of few sources. Not anymore.

      16. The right-wing media landscape is much larger and much more fragmented, and some large outlets/voices are Trumpists.

      17. In the world of Breitbart & alt right twitter, NR is like the Pope issuing an encyclical to a throng of ultra-protestant sects.

      18. A further problem is that, as with Birchers, NR doesn't have clean hands here. Trumpism incubated in magazine.

      19. NR did purge the paleo-cons but it published them first. In pages of magazine you could see seeds of ethno-nationalism spouting

      20. In erstwhile NR alumni Sobran/Francis/Buchanan/Brimelow one saw embryonic alt-right positions on white identity, trade, foreign policy

          21. The paleo-cons were purged in 1990s not for anti-Semitism or racism but for opposing Iraq War & permanent USA interventionism

          @HeerJeet Maybe, but as a Jewish reader of NR in early 90s I was very struck by the sincerity & force of WHB's "In Search of Anti-Semitism".
