Axios: Republicans Don't Think About National Review Any More
Standing athwart the dustbin of history.
Axios spoke to Republican consultants and power-brokers about how power inside the party had shifted post-Trump. Who used to have the power, per those Axios interviewed:Who has the power now:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce
The NRA
The Koch network
Heritage Action
The Drudge Report
National Review
Conservative movement groups such as Tea Party Express, FreedomWorks, and the Senate Conservatives Fund.
The NRA lost power, I imagine, due purely to its internal political and legal struggles, not because of the party shifting its ideology on the Second Amendment. Heritage, meanwhile, just became yet another corrupt corporate Woke Joke. They discuss the various groups that lost power.
Donald Trump
Tucker Carlson
Family and former aides to Trump
Fox News
Club for Growth
Daily Wire
Breitbart News
Online influencers including Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, Joe Rogan, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk and Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
Steve Bannon
Susan B. Anthony List
Good. Well, I guess I can stop talking about them. I guess even the idiots who run the party have this one figured out. And the National Review?
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce: In 2014, the Chamber was heavily involved in Republican primaries. "Chamber Republicans" competed against "Tea Party Republicans," claiming greater appeal to the business community than insurgent conservatives and better prospects in the general election. A Chamber endorsement was the gold standard and came with an expectation of meaningful outside financial support. These days, most Republicans in primaries --including establishment figures -- want to stay as far away from the Chamber as possible. ... [I]ts late-cycle political advertising -- broadcast buys in the pivotal weeks before voters go to the polls -- declined dramatically, from more than $35 million in the 2014 cycle to under $6 million six years later. During the past year, the Republican Party has effectively banished the Chamber for its increased support of Democrats. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has said he wants nothing to do with the Chamber if the GOP flips the House. And even establishment GOP primary candidates are steering clear of them. "If the U.S. Chamber of Commerce calls you and says 'we want to endorse', You're like, 'please don't'," said a GOP consultant who works for some of the country's highest-profile Republicans.
Republicans used to covet the cover of National Review. But after the publication opposed Trump in 2016, every operative we asked told Axios it's become irrelevant in GOP primaries. "Courting the National Review doesn't matter at all," said one with several high-profile GOP primary candidates. "I would argue there's more people who'd be turned off by NR writing positive pieces...."Yup. But let's check in with Politico columnist Rich Lowry. He must be really invested in National Review and the conservative movement to be a columnist for the leftwing groupthink media publication Politico.
"I don't know who said that," National Review editor Rich Lowry [squealed girlishly to] Axios, "but I guarantee you if we ran a negative item of any sort on one of his or her clients -- whether a 1,000-word article or a brief comment -- we would hear from that campaign pushing back almost immediately." Lowry [impotently seethed that] he sees "an element of wish-fulfillment in some of these attacks" on National Review: "A fringe wants us gone, so they pretend it's so, when they actually read us as closely as anyone."Oh, a "fringe?" Justin Trudeau was just talking about a fringe. Do you two chat? On the come-up, meanwhile, are Breitbart and Bannon. And the Daily Wire. (Eh.) And Tucker Carlson, of course, who one operative says might be the most influential right-wing pundit he's ever seen. Like many of you, I was beside myself from around 2008 to 2014 as I kept screaming into the wind that the GOP establishment, and its Beta Orbiter grifter class, cannot continue giving the finger to the actual members of the GOP, the actual people who write the checks and cast the votes, every year, always telling us "we'll get around to immigration one day (of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform type only) but in the meantime here's some more favors for the Chamber of Commerce." At some point, we kept saying, there is going to come a reckoning. There is going to be a revolt. The same lies, the same cons, the same hustles, the same grifts, the same excuses, the same scripted failures, the same stage-managed defeats, the same bait-and-switches, the same shuck-and-jives, the same venomous betrayals, the same fulminous scoldings are just not going to work time after time, cycle after cycle, year after year. But the Smart People in the GOP, the Cruise Ship Conservatives, were sure that they would keep working, for ever and ever, and that the long-promised revolt would not, could not, ever, ever happen. Their stranglehold on the party was too tight, and besides, they were the Smart People of the party. What would all the rubes do without them? The rubes wouldn't know what to even think on their own! No, they were indispensable, and being indispensable, they had all the leverage and all the control. As Charles DeGaulle is thought to have said (though it was said earlier), the graveyards are filled with indispensable men. And all the Very Smart People we just couldn't possibly get along without, the ones who were sure that the public would never revolt, and that there would never come an avatar for their reckoning, continue babbling to each other in their every-shrinking huddles, always asking: "Will this month be the month when they all regain their senses and beg us to lead them again? Don't they realize that they need us, The Smart People, the people who have been wrong about literally everything for at least twenty fucking years, to tell them what to think?"
"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." -- Eric Hoffer, The Temper of Our Time

Not because I have some high minded view of NR or Republicans, but because the leading from behind conservative prevent defense that NR represents so fully fits with the Republican Party leadership that I didn't think they could ever be split asunder.
I imagined Mitch McConnell's staff eagerly awaiting their advanced copies of NR to read about how awesome they're doing and as solace to how, yes, they will retain leadership once the Trump fever passes one day.

Yeah, the internal palace intrigue is poor optics for sure, but the fact that the NRA hasn't done anything meaningful to drive forward a Pro-2A agenda in the last 20 years, while simultaneously being a shameless vessel for grift on the psuedoright drives more of the flight away from the NRA and toward orgs like GOA.

Joe Rogan is on the Right. The Left establishment is entirely a "Left Pole" phenomenon now.
When you stand on the North Pole, any direction you walk is South. It doesn't matter which way you step, you're off the pole and heading south. The entire establishment of government, media, academia, corporations and other institutions is now on the Left Pole. Any deviation from their ideological purity means you are Literally Hitler and by definition non-Left and if you're non-Left you are therefore Right.

Then Trump came along. He personally hated Trump since the 1980s. So he now sits all day retweeting National Review and Allahpundit and funneling around his own ass trying to systematically fondle the square circle of his own stupid bullshit. He totes hates Biden and Kamala's agenda though! But don't you DARE say the election was stolen, that's crazy talk.

I think the reason we ended up with the leaders we had is that the left spent decades corrupting them - I've mentioned this before, but there is a reason that Denis Hastert ended up as the most powerful Republican...and after that point the GOPe stopped being an opposition party.
So expect this process to continue - but...is the Republican base smart enough to not fall for the smears and to pick up who is getting paid off moving forward? I guess we'll see.

I think the NRA has lost a lot of influence simply because they've won.
Won what? Any of the 2A victories we have seen were not spearheaded by the NRA, they just clung to the coattails of whoever was doing the yeoman's work.
The NRA can't get help but keep stepping on its own dick. With the massive BOD shakeup they had a couple years ago - all because of Wayne LaPierre and his outrageous spending. Exacerbated now because of their failed chapter 11 filing, the NYS going after them, and funds drying up.
Lapierre, a masterful grifter, supposedly needed protection because of threats against his life. So someone lent him their yacht where he and his family conveniently used to attend a wedding in the Carribean. Never declared any of that grift.
The only thing the NRA has won (deservedly so) is the unwanted attention and the abandonment of donors/supporters.

For starters, the election fraud "package" from Fox should have been reason enough for Tucker to leave entirely. Don't get me wrong, Tucker has a lot of pressure to stay with Fox, and his original films might have the reach to be worthwhile. But it's nowhere near the courage Glenn Greenwald showed at The Intercept. He's not the enemy, but I'd rather get my news from people honest enough to stand up to the corporations.

I get it. But Buckley knew how the political game was played and wanted conservatives to win more often. He went for the high road instead of the low road and enjoyed some success. However, he and his successors forgot that direct appeals to We the People aren't low road, they're necessary to maintaining a base, keeping election results, and making the Left play defense. Trump appealed directly to the populace in general and won an election he was supposed to lose by 20%. So much for the NR's smart guys.

And Tucker Carlson, of course, who one operative says might be the most influential right-wing pundit he's ever seen.
-------------
Tucker has, IMO, taken over the leadership from the late, great Rush. He continues to double down, with class and intelligence, every time the corrupt media attacks him. I actually fear for his life, and not some random nutjob. After paying hundreds of millions of dollars and co-opting thousands of people to carry out this criminality, a simple assassination costs peanuts.
Steve Bannon - warroom.org - is also a leader, but a different type - he continues to push people to get involved at the local level to make real change. And he continues to piss on the CCP and the US Left (is there a difference, really?) every chance he gets.
Along with Gutfeld, who just makes fun of the left, late at night after all those clowns have gone home, are pretty much my political information sources after the Stolen Election and Coverup.

It still remains as it's always been, first party to Nationalist Populist wins everything. The GOP seems to be getting dragged that way. The DNC desperately clings to a Corporatist notion that they can somehow keep everything under their control, if only they smartly control all the smart things.
They're fools. In the most well armed country in the world with this most access to information, sure, the minority will keep the majority locked down - forever - just by maximal application of minimal force at the key checkpoints.

I will take the opposite side of this argument. When the NRA endorsed Reid, they rationalized it by saying that they were a single issue organization and on that single issue, Reid had a pretty decent track record. Which was -- at the time -- true. Unfortunately for them, Reid chose pretty much that exact instant to turn his coat on the 2A. In response, the NRA ceased to be 2A focused and sold out body and soul to the GOPe. IMO, that was the beginning of the end for them as a holder of real political influence.

I can't find the main fundraiser. However there are many other smaller fundraisers for families and such, linked to the convoy protest.
And soibois from Ottawa of course, who want to raise $100k to donate to city of Ottawa for stronger police presence. So far they have $255 in the kitty

Sure - because convincing people to act against their own obvious, immediate best interests only works when you skew that evaluation - by showing them a "greater threat". You asked for a miracle ? I give you ... the Cold War (not the FBI).
That's what is going on, right now. The current dicks in charge do not, simply do not, have the physical means to lock down the country. So they've got to get us to lock down ourselves. How do they do that ?

Their political strategy was coming to an end anyway as the Dems party became concentrated in urban areas and among wealthy donors. Neither of those communities favor gun rights. The first group blame guns for the dead (ignoring the social pathologies that lead to gang bangers shooting each other); the wealthy have never liked gun rights for the masses because they view it as a potential threat to be squashed. They like things like NYC's very strict permitting laws which allows them guns but denies it to the unwashed.

When Reid trurned on the NRA, they realized they had no influence on Reid or the rest of the "Modern" Democrat Party. Knowing they had no other suitors, the Republicans coopted them.

what I would say to him, which I did not say, is that all of these corporate clowns hire off an approved list, and the approved list is all people who are Polite Company Conservatives who are pretty liberal. At least liberal in the big ways: liberal as regards race, sex, gender, sexual attraction. These guys can't hire anyone would dream of crossing the left on their Red Line issues.
I did not say that, and if I had said it, of course he would have denied it, it's not like he would have agreed and said 'you got me." but of course that's all true.

Well, if those 75% understand that they’re in the majority. We owe a huge debt to those who led the member revolt in 1977. The then-leadership of the NRA seemed perfectly happy to manage the decline like orgs in other countries were.

Today's NRA is actually arguably better than the pre Knox rebellion in the late seventies that put LaPierre in the saddle. LaPierre's background btw was a rural Dem activist from Virginia. At the time of the rebellion, the NRA supported the GCA of 1968 among other disasters. So, a NRA meeting ended up with the board deposed and new leadership.
But that leadership more or less has drawn up the bridge over the moat and become an insular self dealing group because LaPierre and the board set it up where it would be difficult if not impossible to remove them by what Knox and others did (at Cincinnati?) at a convention business meeting.

I just note that he was hostile to the Goldwater campaign and his biggest claim to fame was going after the John Birch Society in lockstep with the mainstream who had concerns about Communists in government, Judicial overreach by the Warren commission like banning prayer in schools and allowing communists first protection rights. Was he right to do so? Perhaps, but I don't remember him toppling any left wing organization in his life.

I had a hard time ever really supporting the NRA after that and I actually do think it's partly why he was able to hang on in Nevada. That and we had a shit candidate to run against him.

The Left are rabble rousers. He's been around them all his life and he understands their ways.
Once you see them for what they really are, it's easy. The whole veneer of moral scolding is essentially a giant joke to them. They use every technique imaginable to get an edge.
I think a lot of us are awake to it now but there's still some that don't quite understand how funny the Left thinks everything is, and how much pleasure they get from being vicious bullies.

His single drawback from an idealogical standpoint is that he'll basically agree with whoever he has on the show. One day he's nodding along with Jordan Peterson, the next he's agreeing with some pure leftist twit.
The best you can say about Rogan is that he seems to reflect REALITY. And reality trends to the right. So as things are going now, he can't help himself but to continue to be curious about the failures of every leftist institution in the country and why they never accept any responsibility and the media keeps covering for them.

You are correct. Furthermore, one of the more hidden functions of the NRA is not the political operations but the vital role of certifying trainers and ranges and providing them with a means for liability insurance. They also insure all members for a modest amount on their firearms $2500 and do not require serial numbers etc. You can also buy additional coverage through them.

As a little kid, the first time we saw a microwave dinner, I cried a little bit inside. Happy tears.

Well, it is for some. You're more of the philosophical libertarian, but many are just one-issue or a few issues types, who are only libertarian because their vice is prohibited or limited (gambling, prostitution, drugs, whatever).

I joined with a membership in an approved club, and that was it. I think that if you are a veteran and perhaps a certain age, there are no other retirements.

The original source for that was National Pulse which is run by NT'ers. I read the story then checked up on local sources in TN media that described the candidates. That made the Pulse's story more incomplete as to the 'right' candidate.
In this case, one would have to wait and see who is the better candidate rather than rejection. The Pulse story struck me in hindsight as more of a hit on Trump's endorsement strategy than any real discussion of who is the better candidate.

It's vastly easier than when I bought my first M1 from the DCM. We could talk about it on the gun thread if anybody really cares to.

So they influence absolutely nobody.
If you HAVE to use that fake word to describe people, their influence is zero.

Up to now, America has not been a good milieu for the rise of a mass movement. What starts out here as a mass movement ends up as a racket, a cult, or a corporation.
Slightly different tone, but Hoffer was famously skeptical about mass movements!

Depends on who's doing the defining. Naturally, a Republican can be defined as someone who wants to make sure your social and sexual practices are approved (by them), and that no moral filth (to be defined as broadly as possible) shall exist in society.

Nope. Libertarians are embarrassed and ashamed of the military and America's superpower status. They want an America that is as weak and as whiny as possible. Libertarians also want completely open borders because just like Dems they find the idea of presenting a passport to a CBP official at a port of entry in order to enter the country to be VERY upsetting. For starters.

The former "conservative" organizations have lost all credibility with actual conservatives, as the article makes clear.
I would add to Axios list: The Federalist and Ace of Spades.

Barely over a section, that's not a ranch.
True Garrett, in New Mexico, 700 acres runs about 5 to 10 grazing critters.
Maybe there are state lands as well. In which case it will all soon run nothing but solar panels in Lujan-Grisham's empire
