2. The core problem with the review is Klein sees Buchanan's politics as part of late 1960s backlash to left. That's just wrong.

3. Buchanan in his memoirs & elsewhere very forthright that his roots are in the Old Right of 1930s (Franco, Pegler, MacArthur) not 1960s.

5. Buchanan's Vietnam account is just standard stabbed-in-the-back myth. In what way, aside from popularity of myths, does it have "power"?

6. To tie in with recent developments, Buchanan's advice to Nixon on Watergate was a full cover up: "burn the tapes."

Or to put it another way, Buchanan takes his Catholicism seriously while Trump just pays lip service to his Protestantism.

1st gen white nationalists like Buchanan are still devoted to the Ancient Religion. 2nd genners eg Trump no longer need yoke of Christianity
