Why is it that we see the rise of a phony Alt-“Right” movement and the media obsession with it? Well, those “conservatives” who are so obsessed with criticizing it are responsible for its rise. It formed in the vacuum left behind by jettisoned principles. A truly constitutional movement that actually believes in fighting for what it espouses, rather than collecting website clicks and money, would have preempted the rise of such a movement.
In this episode of “The Conservative Conscience,” we discuss how the conservative “smart set” ignoring Judge Roy Moore is emblematic of what is wrong with them and why the Republican voters turned away from their brand. It’s why some people are unfortunately attracted to some voices that might identify the problems accurately but are headed in the wrong direction. When confronted with a destructive cultural Marxist agenda, the phony conservative movement did nothing to counter it with godly and constitutional principles. Thus, our side wants a revolution. Some of us want an American revolution, but sadly, many will be attracted to a French type of revolution because they are so desperate for leadership. A candidate like Roy Moore offers a true opportunity to stand beyond this false choice between the status quo or a French revolution, yet these people who say they want something more than Trump refused to stand with Moore.
