When I first entered the public arena, the focus of my work was almost entirely on why the Right needed to take power seriously. Conservatives had suffered a devastating string of political and cultural losses because they focused on argument and ideology while paying little attention to the way power actually worked. That criticism drew plenty of hostility from defenders of the status quo who did not appreciate some rookie pointing out why decades of conservative leadership had produced so little. It turns out I was not alone. Popular voices, including Matt Walsh and John Doyle, now openly support conservatives taking and wielding power effectively. That disagreement has launched another round of public debate over the pursuit of power, but the argument is only a proxy for a larger battle over JD Vance, foreign policy, and the future of MAGA.Support me and this channel by subscribing to BlazeTV Today and Get $20 off your annual subscription: https://blazetv.com/AuronFollow on:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148afSubstack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyreGab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyreYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyreRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:fInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/Learn more about your ad choices.
