The Intellectuals De-intellectualizing the American Right
Briefly

Heritage Foundation's president Kevin Roberts called NatCon 4 'the most important gathering of conservatives in the twenty-first century.' Senator J.D. Vance's selection as Trump's running mate solidifies the event's significance in shaping 'national conservatism.'
NatCon attendees included scholars, former White House staffers, and students from prestigious institutions, focusing on ideas like immigration reduction, revamping small-government ideology, and a realistic foreign policy approach.
Contrary to stereotypes, the NatCon crowd was diverse, not just 'young, white, and clean-scrubbed weirdos,' with an absence of high-schoolers or adoration for figures like Sean Hannity. Attendees engaged in rigorous discussions beyond mere socializing.
