After listening to @AuronMacintyre & @JoelWBerry on Timcast, the difference between "constitutionalist" conservatives and the new right really boils down to the fact that the new right understands the mechanisms of politics, whereas the constitutional conservatives do not 🧵

People like Joel Berry claim that there's a somewhat easy way back to a constitutional republic, but really their entire view of governance and politics are nothing more than carefully crafted propaganda pushed upon republicans in the 20th century.

Every time these debates happen, the constitutional conservative side always talks about people just finding faith, being in their Bibles, then a mass awakening will happen. Whereas the new right understands that you must actually take action to achieve your political goals.

The first step before taking effective action is actually understanding how something works, but the constitutional conservative cannot break out of the fake system that the modern American political myth is.

The constitutional conservative needs to admit that they don't understand the mechanics of politics. It's like a child trying to work on an engine. They think they can fix it, but in reality they have no understanding how it works so they just say it will "get fixed" in faith.

This is an appeal to dad, Dad will come in and fix the engine, then it will suddenly work. Dad may even say the child "fixed" the engine with their faith, but in reality Dad did the work. In the constitutionalist conservative's case, they say God will just fix it.

If you point out that God works through people and that action needs to be taken, it is treated as a lack of faith. It, is a very childlike understanding of the situation. God can fix our political situation, but it will be through great men.

The new right, really the old right, is willing to admit that modern conservatives have a complete misunderstanding of power. We have done the reading and comprehend what needs to change.

But this is where discourse breaks down, the constitutional conservative sees this as an attack on America, on the myth about our political process, and essentially an attack on God, even though it isn't, they are just ignorant.

The new right doesn't hate constitutional conservatives... until those constitutional conservatives start trying to destroy the new right by using leftist tactics and an appeal to leftist moral standards to cancel the right.

If these constitutional conservatives actually did the reading to understand what the new right is saying, I think they would figure things out because our values are aligned.... unless they are bad actors of course.
