The New Right vision for America is clear. A white man returns to his large suburban single-family home after a long day at his manufacturing job and is greeted enthusiastically by his stay-at-home wife and his three children. They eat together, watch TV together, and say Christian prayers before they go to bed. It’s an idealized version of the 1950s.
But it doesn’t even slightly resemble the America of 2024. How does the New Right get from Point A to Point B? How does it propose to overcome the powerful legal, economic, and cultural forces that will oppose it every step of the way?
That will be the topic of a series that will occupy this week.
