Nation First, Conservatism Second
Actually, conservatism not at all, to be blunt.
Sam Francis in 1996 thought the Wall Streeters and libertarians who dominate the conservative movement have ruined the word since they actually don't want to conserve anything but only serve the interests of the rootless American plutocracy.
Per Michael Brendan Dougherty at The Week,
[S]ooner or later, as the globalist elites seek to drag the country into conflicts and global commitments, preside over the economic pastoralization of the United States, manage the delegitimization of our own culture, and the dispossession of our people, and disregard or diminish our national interests and national sovereignty, a nationalist reaction is almost inevitable and will probably assume populist form when it arrives.
The sooner it comes, the better… [Samuel Francis in Chronicles]
And that's the Trump rebellion.
This is a brilliant article about Trump's supporters.
The only thing wrong with it is that it finds not just Trump but the anti-globalist ideology of his supporters frightening.
And is Dougherty really willing to concede that free trade all by itself, even apart from the impact of a flood of low-wage immigration, is good for the rich who profit big time and good for the poor for whom goods are cheaper but bad for the American working class in net and as a whole?
All the same, these renegade Democrats who have allowed themselves to be freaked out of the Democratic Party and into the anti-union, free-trade, open borders, party devoted to its last breath to abolishing Social Security, Medicare, and every jot and tittle of Big Government are idiots.
Even with Trump as their nominee, a Republican win would not be a win for white working class Americans but for their enemies.
