During a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, President Trump highlighted the growing influence of Pat Buchanan among young conservatives. This new faction rejects mainstream Republicanism, favoring cultural traditionalism and economic nationalism. The enthusiasm from College Republicans indicates a rising tide of support for a conservative vision that critiques both progressive politics and the status quo of Republican ideals. These young conservatives, who value Buchanan's warnings about cultural decline, seek to recover what they perceive has been lost in America's trajectory.
You know there was a man, Pat Buchanan, a good guy, a conservative guy... Wow! Young people, they know him.
Their affinities lie not with Reaganite optimism... but with the sobering, culture-first realism of Pat Buchanan.
They're not interested in conserving the status quo. They want to recover something lost.
Buchanan was virtually alone in warning that the West was in decline... culturally, spiritually, and economically.
