Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The political forefather of this vision is probably Pat Buchanan, who inveighed against free trade and multiculturalism in the 1990s.
51% : "I think anti-wokeness is probably enough to win elections," he told me. "
47% : National conservatism is the intellectual version of Trumpism, committed to the populist reorienting of the GOP away from free markets and interventionist foreign policy.
38% : Thiel's reputation on the left has become a word-salad of villainous associations -- from the demise of Gawker to the rise of "surveillance capitalism" and Trumpist nationalism.
22% : In a 2020 interview with anti-establishment pundits Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, Vance contended that Trump's great political failure wasn't his handling of the pandemic, but his signature corporate tax cut and his attempts to undo Obamacare.
