      I take exception to this, on behalf of a lot of thoughtful conservatives who will be here long after these charlatans have gotten the hook.https://twitter.com/heerjeet/status/860977458090090496 …

      You want to understand the American right? Forget Hayek, Strauss, Buckley, Kirk. Read Breitbart, Drudge, Milo. Watch Infowars.

      but, here, @HeerJeet is talking about "the American right," NOT about "conservatives"; Here is gracious enough to make the distinction.

      Exactly. Hayek etc. made permanent contributions of interest to all intelligent people. But their ideas are not driving Trumpism.

          Perhaps my favorite argument for unconditional basic income is this interpretation of Hayek's support for it:https://twitter.com/JimbauxsJournal/status/822293986681454592 …

          and a very close reading of Hayek's words on this suggests he wanted to get AWAY FROM Tribalism - a.k.a., Trumpism:https://twitter.com/JimbauxsJournal/status/822307015644979200 …

          8.) So, in that light, #basicincome is regaining the freedom we relinquished when we agreed to private property rights and a jobs economy.

          I'm not sure that the ideology is much improved for being expressed "thoughtfully." Thoughtful, enduring ideas can still be toxic.

          Yeah but conservative 'intellectuals' were happy enough to recruit them to the cause as voters. They didn't think they'd run away with it.
