The 1776 Report has now exited the Right, courtesy Brion McClanahan at Chronicles.
McClanahan is involved with the Politically Incorrect Guide series, which I don't endorse, since it went basic-b!tch srrvative on Darwin and, to be brutal, on the Civil War and Reconstruction. The P.I.G. line is however a barometer on American Right opinion. McClanahan knows well the Founding Fathers, as he demonstrates here.
This means that Trump's legacy is, ultimately, failure. Failure of a particularly Boomer strain, the failure of an overweight white retiree sputtering about "the party of the KKK" and "whaddabout muh Dream" on PJMedia.
The 1776 Report taints every thinker involved with it: of which names I recognise Carol Swain and Victor Davis Hanson. This is tragic for both, since I had appreciated their scholarship over the Bush II years as not being so basic as Bush himself (last seen voting for Condoleeza).
PJMedia commenters do buy books, or at least read reviews of books, so maybe they'll take it upon themselves to read better books, by better writers. I'm not hopeful about Trump's generation, but we can always hope for Posobiec's generation.
