Ed Driscoll, posting at Instapundit, links to a Christopher F. Rufo column at City Journal which argues there is significant movement by those on the right in building a “conservative counterculture.”
[The] old counterculture has become the dominant culture, having been absorbed into the bureaucracies of universities, schools, government, and now major corporations. The left-wing culture no longer carries a critique; it is the status quo.
The solution to left-wing cultural dominance is ... to rebuild the structures that provide the basis for healthy, integrated human development: families, schools, churches, neighborhoods. Though few have noticed, this is already happening. A “Quiet Right” is patiently, and nearly invisibly, building a viable counterculture.
Echoing something I wrote recently, Rufo spots a couple of “robins,” which may presage the arrival of a conservative “Spring.” It is worth noting that Gov. DeSantis (R-FL) recently appointed Rufo (and four other conservatives) to the board of governors of a Florida state college, a “robin” if ever I saw one.
