Benjamin Netanyahu was a speaker at this conference too: https://youtu.be/lPueSBhoryc
But or course, in the end it may have created more backlash then support for the movement. It moved some people more extreme but did it broaden the tent?
But right now the right has a pipeline of young men entering their political stream. Does that continue if all mainstream culture appears right wing?
But again, Americans are pretty rebellious by nature. Look at the increase in anti-vax sentiment, we like to disagree with institutions, I don’t know that controlling institutions, even religion makes them appealing to disillusioned young men, like arguably the biggest strategic misstep liberals made was thinking they could control the narrative.
The interesting (scary?) one is what Pete Hegseth is doing with the military. Giving people a shared enemy? That could work.
An alternate argument could be made that when we started to see a rise in pushback against corporations in the early 2010s (eg. Occupy Wallstreet) all of a sudden the narrative shifted towards 'socially progressive' ideology. Was that a manufactured narrative?
Now we are seeing a strong pushback against that ideology but in my opinion we are just repeating history, the young people supporting the right didn't experience the great recession and once they learn the pain of what the right brings to the country every time they take office, there will be yet another generation that will have been burned. The left just needs to survive these next 3.2 years. If they can make it, then there is tremendous opportunity for reform.
