Trump sure did get the right-wing populists and Christian nationalists to feel comfortable enough to cone out of the wordwork and show themselves, didn't he?
Someone will have to write the history of folks like those -- smart Trumpers. Why wasn't all their learning enough to keep them away from Trump? How come some were eventually drawn to Trump after having condemned him with strong language?

The recent cray-cray is pretty stunning for this particular organization.They used to put out some interesting papers & host interesting seminars on topics of the day worthy of serious debate.Unfortunately,Heritage has been taken over by rank & file MAGA, bad twitter trolling and all.Kinda sad, TBH.
I think when it became clear that their mouthpiece William Bennett had always been a racist asshole and massive hypocrite, they just decided to let the mask fall.
