Free Thoughts, Ep. 214: How the Right Lost Its Mind (with Charles J. Sykes)
Channel: Libertarianism.org
Date: 2017-11-24

Charles J. Sykes joins us this week for a discussion on the origins of the populist, pro-Trump Right.

What happened to the conservative intellectual infrastructure that was so robust in William F. Buckley, Jr.’s time? Why does it seem like politics now is more about attitude and tribal loyalty than ideas and discourse? How do groups like the Tea Party and media personalities like Ann Coulter fit into this narrative?
