"Does Conservatism Have a Future in the United States?" w/ Patrick Deneen

Traditional and neo-conservatism seem to have been obliterated politically by the pincers of Donald Trump and growing socialism. Can conservatism rise again? Should it? Patrick Deneen, the author of Why Liberalism Failed, makes the case for a new kind of conservatism.

I agree many Americans would vote every day for a true “economic liberal, social conservative” candidate

Some would call that "economically conservative" because today's "liberals" are usually all about offering to share other people's riches rather than their own.

Dirty tricks and thievery will always be with us, so yes. Someone has to pay the bills, so Republicans have a future too.
