I love you both, but Dreher is right on this. The speeches are insane and not a sign of a confident political right.

Agree with you completely. Trump forged the populist right from sheer personality, but did not build an infrastructure of intellectuals, wonks, politicos, and organizers. That's the work moving forward. Channel the populist morale into competent leadership.
The problem, I think, is that too many on the old institutional right sneer at the *people* of the populist movement. In my view, the populist base has the right instincts, but no leadership to elevate instinct into a disciplined, coherent, narrative-driven movement.

True. I would say though, the populist rights more sane leaders dropped thier base (ie Tucker going back to his Liberal Hypocrisy bent) and ostisible post liberals like Dreher can’t abide anything so norm violating as populism.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
