National Review: The Corner: ‘National Conservatism’ Isn’t Winning
Amity Shlaes reviews David Leonhardt's book, which details the economic and social distress called "American carnage" and advocates for centralized, statist solutions. Shlaes argues that these solutions align with a call for converting America into a European-style social democracy, which goes against Reagan-Buckley conservatism. The New Right movement, to which Leonhardt's book speaks, is disconnected from the American political tradition and faces intellectual and political weaknesses. The movement's prospects are grim, as it lacks support among conservative voters and is unlikely to attract racially diverse voters who lean toward the Democratic Party. The movement's affiliation with Donald Trump is also problematic, as Trump's whims and obsessions are not a useful guide to governance. Ultimately, the New Right movement is unmoored and out of touch with traditional conservative values.
