Pres. Trump got away from that in 2017. Pray he doesn't lose sight of that again in 2025. His base of supporters who never strayed, no matter the impeachments, no matter the voting fraud, accusations of "insurrection," lawfare, etc. The sexy, good-looking suitors who began wooing him in 2024 must be kept in their place. Interesting conversations by the punch bowl. But not partners on the dance floor.
Way to go! I'll be keeping an eye out for your writings in the future. I can't think of a better person to be working with. I hope that Chris will be a mentor to many.
Their are huge amount of voters that went for Trump because of RFK/Tulsi. The "reasonable conservatives " are currently trying to have a seat at the table after contributing nothing and trying to disenfranchise the voters who out Trump in there.
Here’s my conundrum: I am only a “dissident democrat” from decades ago, and not Silicon Valley Tech. Neither do I want Never Trumpers, RINOS destroying this MAGA movement I’ve supported since the MAL raid (since Trump was on the money naming us as a Nation in Decline. )I guess I fit into the Dissident Democrat category, being ready to get RFK over the finish line if the lawfare was successful. Thanks for listening!
Here’s my question regarding trying to understand “what” the dissident Democrat stands for: Would you vote for RFKJ over DJT to lead the country? If not, then you are IMO no longer just a “dissident Democrat”, you are now “MAGA”. If you believe IMO that RFKJ has a better grasp overall in how to run the country from here forward than DJT, then you are still a DEMOCRAT, although a dissenting one , and thereby unsuitable to be part of DJT’s leadership to get MAGA implemented.
PS: Michelle, you sound to me like one who has truly turned from the DEMOCRAT party of TODAY, which has become nothing short of a Marxist /Communist organized front.
Much thanks to CFR for his excellent article highlighting these very important distinctions!
I agree, I think there's a huge danger in pushing out the RFK/Tulsi supporters. Conservatives shouldn't destroy the new coalition just to satisfy "reasonable conservatives" who did nothing for the victory.
With respect to the main issue behind RFK's support, the danger is by no means merely tactical. It is in fact spiritual. Most "reasonable conservative" leaders are what I call Supservatives, because they have deliberately aided the "center" and left in suppressing the Covid/Vax harms story. For three long years now. Silence. Refusal to dialogue. A refusal to mention or to interview key dissident leaders and experts.
No discussion of the possibility that several million, maybe even 17 million, were killed by the shots. They don't seem to realize that all remaining excuses for still aiding the suppression have passed, given Trump now taking power, and that if they continue in this shameful pattern much longer, they could wind up committed to it till the end of their days. 2025 is the test: https://substack.com/home/post/p-154346460
Consider this carefully, dear authors. The Suppressors make it so easy to join them in what they're doing.
Indeed. It seems that the Dems objecting so strenuously to RFKJr and Gabbard are doing so precisely because those two nominees bring with them so many folks who might otherwise align with Dems.
We don’t know who contributed what. Not disagreeing with this analysis, but when push comes to shove, President Trump will need to use his keen sense of character to determine who is hurting his admin, and who is an asset, rather than separating them into groups. Additionally, many have expressed concern (horror) at hearing Ellison’s AI to create MRNA cancer vaccines on Day 2. That acronym should be prohibited for a decade at least!
Good point Michelle, but IMO anything that changes one’s DNA make up is from the “god of this world”, and is contrary to the teachings of Scripture. If one is a Christian, one should be very against having his/her DNA altered. Jesus Christ is the answer to every terminal disease…….
"principled conservatives" = does not compute. I've seen no principles from them other than "losing while claiming moral superiority".
Likewise "dissident Democrats" reads to me like "ex-jesuits" or "ex-CIA" - one doubts there is ever any such thing. Gabbard held my respect until she caved on 702, but she is after all a politician.
"reasonable centrists" = the people who will be happy with either side. Reasonable people don't change the world, they change in response to the world. They're followers and they will follow whoever wins but they will never be decisive in determining who wins.
Excellent point also. Having truly “ex-anything” requires a complete new birth. Those folks are few and far between, so the President has to do the best he can, and be supported with copious amounts of prayer for the right decisions.
New birth? All the people who were lifelong Democrats six months ago, (realized the ship was sinking and couldn’t contribute to their ambitions) and jumped sides are the only ones with skin in the game who can execute whatever this is???? No question for you here Bo?
Becca: Very thoughtful, but the key to me seems to be in your statement “and can’t contribute to THEIR ambitions.” I don’t think DJT is doing this for his personal gain; he is doing it due to his strong, unfailing love for the people of this country.
You're running an alcohol abuse clinic. Who do you get to speak to the unfortunates looking for a way up from rock bottom? The temperance lady who's never let a drop of demon rum touch her lips and will threaten your throng with eternal damnation in the afterlife for their sins OR the wizened and wise old alkie who's lost his family, friends, home, wealth, and health more times than he can count and has been sober for a record 3 months this time around?
Richard: Very good point, but WADR(with all due respect) the 12 step program seems to almost always fall short ( leading to a 3 month or 2 yr or even 10 yr recovery) unless one’s “higher power” is indeed God, whose true identity is manifested in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Always appreciate Chris' insight. A coalition is formed by imperfect partners by definition. In my opinion, the best strategy is to place the strongest ally (both with skin in the game and action oriented/enabled) in the center and stack others along a continuum. Yes, even an enemy should be viewed through such a spectrum so that their opposition may be minimized. That's just some nuance to Chris' great insights.
If you view the political map with equality as the horizontal axis and liberty as the vertical axis, many of the "principled conservatives" lie diametrically opposite to today's Republican coalition. the late Jimmy Carter and the younger Bill Clinton and Al Gore were closer to where the Republican Party is today than, say, Mitt Romney.
The Ron Paul libertarians ideologically fit into the current coalition, but they do produce extra yammering in committee meetings.
It reflects how people actually align politically. We've gone through a century in which the accepted wisdom was that the only way to keep the rich from owning everything is to make government very big.
There are alternatives. The ancient Law of Moses had checks on the rich and a welfare system despite not having any police force or standing army. And as far as I can tell, the duties of the Levites were ceremonial, archival, and public health inspections. Not really a complete professional government.
Big government which makes it hard to start a business is lower-right. Big government funded by deficit spending is lower-right. Government enforced titles of nobility and/or slavery are lower-right. For such reasons Adam Smith was on the political left of his day even though he was calling for less government.
As for liberty, I was a libertarian for quite some time. But eventually I realized that extreme wealth relationships constitute power relationships. Some sort of social safety net is required to keep people from effectively selling themselves into slavery. Likewise, there needs to be checks on billionaires buying up all the farmland.
A higher paid working class is a working class that needs less welfare programs. To have liberty and democracy, some populism is required.
Curtis Yarvin apologized to you in a mea culpa piece that is just out. He admits you were right and he was wrong.
He quotes FDR to explain the error he made , which was basically he underestimated the elasticity of power allowed by your constitution. He said he would give you a bottle of whiskey.
The dark prince of the right. he’s a brilliant thinker and a bit of a jerk. He was very mean to Chris Ruffo and has subsequently apologized. Late last night he posted on Substack.
If you want to read the most important thing published on, Substack, look up Curtis Yarvin brief explanation of the cathedral . Trust me you need this information. Without this information you are misinformed.
OK, I just reread it for like the sixth time. I run a company with 5000 employees 700 clients 200 million in revenue, in business since 1976 and mine since 1994, and from this vantage point I tell you this is how any and all human polities work. Brilliant and new and innovative and the author doesn’t care if you get it.
Curtis Yarvin, formerly known as Mencius Moldbug, has value as an intelligent outside viewpoint to the current simulacrum of normality that keeps us sleepwalking into oblivion. You can disagree with every single thing he says, but still learn from him. Similarly, I experience profound intellectual differences with my alarm clock every morning, but I still keep it around.
Throgmorton: well said. Curtis is an asshole. But I love it. When I feel down, I go read some Curtis piece from two or three years ago. For me it’s like taking a cleansing shower.
In Washington State, we have many "principled conservatives" who appear to be radical moralists (and receive predictable responses) because their hair is on fire in reaction to the UNprincipled and obstinate party in power. We could use an infusion of Rufo Wisdom.
excellent summary...following his train of thought, Chris Rufo is a journalist who creates actionable ideas and makes things happen! Only a few journalists play in that arena..
“In my judgment, all potential members of the coalition should be evaluated based on two key criteria, or filters. The first is whether they have skin in the game. The second is whether they have a bias toward action, which will help accomplish the president’s goals in the real world.” Why not mention the US Constitution here? If I were filtering potential members, I would inquire about their understanding of the Constitution and how they might use it to reduce the size and scope of government. For example, education is not an enumerated power as given to the federal government by the Constitution, hence abolish the Department of Education and any federal government support or regulation of education. Further education and religion, are both protected as freedom of conscience under the First Amendment, thus the federal government should not aid any religious or educational establishment or prohibit the free exercise thereof. What am I missing?
Excellent, excellent suggestion. An absolute FIRST and TOP priority is to abolish COMPLETELY the Federal Dept of Education. Return all Education back to the states!
The Constitution is key…..however, I would like to ascertain how to circumvent constitutionally these liberal/leftist judges who rule against the President’s Executive Orders. Can they be impeached? Can another America First Federal Judge “rule” in favor of the EO and effectively counter the
That’s a good question. I don’t have a definitive solution so let me brainstorm a bit here.
What did Biden do? He kept up with his executive orders in an attempt to eliminate or reduce student debt. So persistence is one factor that could help. We would of course be persistent in upholding the Constitution. This might mean removing people from power who violate the Constitution.
What court and what enforcement power will be on our side if a given branch of government is in violation of the Constitution?
Ultimately we must realize that we’re alone. All we have is each other. The Constitution is backed by the hearts, minds and power of American citizens. It is up to us to enforce it. We would need to form a coalition In order to enforce it. Perhaps this means creating a new organization to enforce the Constitution.
True: In most cases the Biden Administration did what it wanted to do regardless of the law. They would only stop AFTER being forced, and even then persisted somehow with, eg, forgiving student loans.
President Trump throughout 8 years of constant fallacious attacks (Russiagate or Collusion Delusion) and lawfare(illegal), remained true to the law and the Constitution. I recommend ( which I am certain he has already) the best legal minds to combat these leftists/Marxist/communists who have been appointed to positions of power to disannul and remove them. Mark Levin has given one of the most understandable constitutional explanations of the 14th(?) Amendment regarding birthright citizenship I have heard. Use it constantly and omnipresently for grassroots and even judicial education.
Very good piece. Knowing the proper size of your tent is critically important in politics. The Democrats have made theirs extremely small right now, but that doesn't mean ours needs to extend to their front porch.
I am a big fan, and I am a supporter of Mr. Rufo and his work. That said, I have a small concern about this particular article which identified groups to be recognized as part of the MAGA movement and groups which should be shunned or excluded.
This article presented an easy opportunity to distinguish and distance MAGA from right wing extremists. While it may seem obvious to all of us that racism, antisemitism and xenophobia are not consistent with MAGA values, Democrats never miss an opportunity to claim otherwise by suggesting that we embrace, if not endorse such views.
Say what you will, but we tend to view Democrats as supporters of Antifa, BLM, CRT and infanticide in large part because Democrat political and thought leaders never reject supporters of such views. "They" see us as supporters of groups like the KKK and Nazis. Let's not give them another chance to demonize us. Let's make it as clear as possible that we do not consider right wing extremists as acceptable members of the MAGA coalition.
If we want to see MAGA survive beyond 2028, we must reject extremism in favor of what President Trump calls "common sense". I hope that Mr. Rufo edits or follows up this article to state clearly that right wing extremist groups are not wanted.
Yep, the 'principled conservatives' are grifters, nothing more. Gone. Bye.

The White House is not an alcohol abuse clinic, and we are not giving a motivational speech
Who is “we”, Becca? I perceive that the President is giving motivational speeches everyday, as are many in his administration.
Well stated and an accurate assessment.

Yes
But that's a stupid map.
