No one understands better than I do the blind spots and ideological zeal that plague left-leaning philanthropy. But I am equally sure of this: The Trump-Vance Administration’s efforts to intimidate and punish progressive funders will be a cure far worse than the affliction.

Conservatism is on the rise among Gen Z, and Fordham students are growing increasingly aware of this phenomenon.

American conservatism exists to serve the people and the nation through the Constitution. This includes defending them against enemies foreign and domestic. And the fact is, elite institutions have become the people’s and the nation’s enemies. They are openly waging cultural war on those they ostensibly serve. They cannot be negotiated with or accommodated. They must be defunded, disbanded, and disempowered. The rewards for doing so—for putting American families first again—will be gr...| Imprimis

Earlier this year, I published an article sharply criticizing white nationalism, neo-Nazism, and the resurgence of paleoconservatism within the Republican Party. In retrospect, I made a significant rookie error: I conflated paleoconservatism with the fringe ideologies of white nationalism and neo-Nazism. This mischaracterization stemmed from a shallow understanding of paleoconservatism, which I had not yet [...] The post A Realignment of the Right first appeared on The Princeton Tory.| The Princeton Tory
