Meet the Ideologue of the “Post-Constitutional” Right
Russell Vought [head of the Office of Management and Budget in the next Trump administration], one of the architects behind Project 2025, believes there is nothing left to conserve. He desires revolution – and to burn down the system. 😆
Conservatism is no longer enough!
The general sentiment that it is no longer enough to be “conservative,” that traditional conservatism needs to be replaced by a much more radical form of politics, is being echoed across the Right – among pundits, activists, politicians, intellectuals. People at the center of conservative politics are now rejecting the label “conservatism” outright. In October 2022, for instance, The Federalist published an instructive piece titled: “We need to stop calling ourselves conservatives.” It pleaded with conservatives to accept the “need to forge a new political identity that reflects our revolutionary moment.” No more restraint, no more “small government”: “The government will have to become, in the hands of conservatives, an instrument of renewal in American life – and in some cases, a blunt instrument indeed.” John Daniel Davidson, the author of the piece and senior editor at The Federalist, was fully aware of the implications of what he demanded: “If all that sounds radical, fine. It need not, at this late hour, dissuade conservatives in the least. Radicalism is precisely the approach needed now because the necessary task is nothing less than radical and revolutionary.”

@spruce112358 saidI wish he knew that "radicalism" is always a leftist movement.

Far-right "radicals" have always been called "reactionaries", for obvious reasons.
Maybe that's his plan, to get "radicals" hated.
