Summary |
"If Conservatism is to succeed and thrive, it must return to its American roots (not Burke or the common law, or Kirk and traditionalism, or libertarianism and Hayek) Donald Trump understands, in a common sense and political way, the principles of the Founding and how they should be applied to forge a new governing coalition. The neoconservative foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration has more in common with progressivism than with the American Founding. Politics is not "downstream from culture" because politics, especially political foundings, create the culture of a country. Multiculturalism and identity politics, and their notion of group rights, is incompatible with the nation state, citizenship, and the protection of rights as America's Founders those things"-- Provided by publisher. |
