This “soft money” influence is overwhelming America’s culture and independence, dwarfs AIPAC spending by billions, yet somehow eludes the concerns of “America Firster” neo-Nazis like Carlson and MTG.

This opinion piece by John Mac Ghlionn argues that Steve Bannon has “conned the working class” by posing as a populist hero while being a wealthy elite. He claims Bannon’s “blue-collar prophet” persona is a “shameless act,” pointing to his background as a banker, his Hollywood producer career, and the fact that he earns royalties from the show, “Seinfeld”. The article cites the “Build the Wall” for which Bannon was arrested on a yacht, as proof of his deceit. Mac Ghlionn concludes that Bannon is not a revolutionary but a “salesman in battle gear” who studies, scripts, and monetizes the anger of the very people he pretends to champion.

“What I Saw And Heard In Washington”

Groyperism’s Spread Among Generation Z Conservative Apparatchiks Is Real

In this blog post, Rod Dreher details his recent trip to Washington, where he met with VP J.D. Vance and Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, but his main focus is on the alarming spread of “Groyperism” and overt antisemitism among young Generation Z conservatives. Dreher reports from his conversations that this radicalism is not a fringe movement but a significant trend fueled by the generation’s economic despair, nihilistic rage against all institutions, and a feeling of being culturally dispossessed and lied to. He warns that these young conservatives are increasingly drawn to tearing down the system rather than reforming it, show a frightening openness to authoritarianism, and that this deep-seated antisemitism poses a “spiritually poisonous” and politically destructive threat to the future of conservatism.
