there’s a sense that today’s right was yesterday’s center/left and everything shifted left. but it’s also true that today’s right is yesterday’s left that finally realized what liberalism broke, what conservatism was trying to conserve and why.

Kind of wish this were more the case. The American new right can’t seem to shake the Ayn Rand/neo-seasteading/accelerationist/libertarian hangover thing which compromises any critique of liberalism with a weird double down on individualism. The interesting George Grant/Wendell Berry/Patrick Deneen style conservative voices already seem marginal again. Or is it just my filter bubble…?

it might be your bubble, but it is the most interesting tension / infighting with the current "right." aside from the neocon old guard, there's a new strain of libertarian / techno-utopians alongside a new strain of protectionist / union-labor-friendly both existing under a single tent
