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

What is or should be the source of the Right’s confidence? Serious question for both of you.
It should be: a coherent and powerful meta-narrative for the movement, an actionable plan for laying siege to the institutions, a well-organized and disciplined base of support, and a strong bench of competent leaders. This is all possible, but we don't have it now.

Agree in principle. But one meta-narrative that’s true is that all elite institutions are arrayed against the middle class. The stuff Rod was reacting to is an expression of that frustration & sense of powerlessness. The marchers are prob good people but need better leaders.

Agree with you completely. The MAGA marchers, like the Tea Party a decade ago, have the right instincts and are ready to move conservative politics forward. But they need and deserve better leadership, which I think the is greatest challenge (and opportunity) in the future.
