Where does the conservative movement go in the post-Trump era? Does the Trump phenomenon represent an ideological shift for the Right--or does the policy playbook remain the same?
Almost twenty years ago, the founding editors of The American Conservative (TAC) wrote, "We believe conservatism to be the most natural political tendency, rooted in man’s taste for the familiar, for family, for faith in God." This vision has since flourished into a distinct, "Main Street" conservatism that serves as a roadmap for our current moment: Realism & restraint in foreign affairs. A humane economy that prioritizes families and local communities. An immigration system that takes into account the challenges of assimilation and the social fabric of communities already here. A social realm that rejects the poison of idenity politics and licentiousness.
Please join the leadership of The American Conservative for a special dinner on the Saturday evening of the Spring meeting of the Philadelphia Society as they expand on this vision for the magazine the movement.
Emile Doak was recently appointed as the next executive director of The American Conservative, after serving in a variety of roles at TAC over the past four years. He studied political philosopy and theology at Georgetown University, and his writing has appeared in First Things, Front Porch Republic, Crisis magazine, and elsewhere. He is a member of the Philadelphia Society.
Helen Andrews is the editor of The American Conservative's print magazine. She is the author of the recently released BOOMERS: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster. She is a graduate of Yale University, and has written widely in publications like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, First Things, the Claremont Review of Books, and many others.
