A fascinating and disturbing look at young "conservatives." Basically, the old definition of conservatism, as I've said before, is increasingly an obsolete way of looking at the American Right. They are radical reactionaries, intent on creating some imagined past via "any means necessary."
It's a chilling read in many ways, but it reinforces my idea that young people are really fundamentally unwise, and that unwisdom makes them "dumb" even if they are measurably "smart." It's also unclear whether this "intellectual vanguard" of anti-democratic reactionaries represent anything of real import in American politics.
Still, a penetrating look at people who are either a time capsule to Trumpist insanity of a frightening harbinger of what's to come.
