In a taxonomy of young #conservatives, Sam Adler-Bell in the New Republic pointed out that these #NatCons (as they’re called) are among a variety of alt ideas popping up to *intellectualize* #Trumpism. But, in recent yrs, they have taken on a larger cache. NYT columnist David Brooks, dismayed by the conference’s rise, would in 2021 call NatCon attendees the “terrifying future of the American right.”

They hate the establishment. They want to destroy the system. Meet the illiberal upstarts trying to remake conservatism.

Lee Anderson hails the Turd Reich at the Nat-C conference

Someone I know just pointed out that NatCons is entirely the wrong contraction for “National Conservatives” and we should just go with Nat Cs instead.
