It is imperative that the “moderate populist conservative” takes root. This model would replace the self-aggrandizing populists who care not for statecraft and American welfare, but for ambition and partisanship. This model would combine conservative values with moderate posture, to shape American priorities.
With that being said, many items in BIF were questionable, such as restrictions on single-family housing and large spending on Green programs. Instead, many populists chose to focus on Biden’s political prospects.
Chase, you won't have much luck getting good-faith engagement from your liberal friends across the aisle if you don't seem to be reality-based. Pretending that the GOP platform was anything other than a straightforward cult of personality is ridiculous. The post-Trump GOP has no policy aside from the composite one of the dark money billionaires that control it. The kind of people that disguise their funding of things like "The Federalist" are not leaders. They just back ponies like Chris Rufo and hope that they strike gold in whatever angle they bring to what is ultimately just warmed-over reactionary Dixiecrat slop rebranded as pure emotion.

Post-partisanship is an ideal.
Great piece.
