That's a good read, I hadn't made the mental connection between the Evangelicals and the NeoCons, but the complete collapse of Evangelical influence does map up well to the failures of the GWB era wars. It's interesting how the NeoCons themselves are being awkwardly rehabilitated by mainstream libs as "never Trump Republicans" while Evangelicals remain completely ostracized from elite society.

Bog's somewhat offhand comment on the flyover maga demo not attending the sspx latin mass reminded me of a good article on the internal tension between the catholic, jewish, and mainline leadership caste of conservatism and the voter base; the issue seems especially prescient lately: https://americanreformer.org/evangelicalisms-second-class-status-in-conservatism/

Totally off topic but I’ve been listening to a podcast called “Russians with Attitude” that the good old boyz may or may not know, but I could see a great collaboration between you all. Russians are, after all, the OG kulaks, planetary tier deplorables. https://www.patreon.com/rwapodcast/posts
