The Betrayal of the American Right

The Betrayal of the American Right refers to the idea that mainstream conservative leaders have historically compromised core principles like limited government, individual liberty, and free markets, often prioritizing political expediency or establishment interests. Critics argue that this has led to a departure from genuine conservative ideals, undermining the movement’s integrity and effectiveness. Instead of resisting cultural and political shifts, some believe the right has surrendered foundational beliefs, resulting in a loss of trust among its supporters and a dilution of its original purpose.
