This is missing the point. The only purpose the right needs to fulfill is to defeat, humiliate, and discredit leftism totally because leftism is the only civilization level threat that we all share. I can promise you I will not unite with Roman Catholics for some kind of religious project for example, but I can absolutely work with them to defeat the left. Each stakeholder you have listed has their own version of a positive vision, whether to colonize mars or make GDP line go up, they're just not all the same. We can see how much agreement we can come to later but there is no sense in planning future architecture while the house is on fire. Put out the fire first.
Most NatCons are Catholic and Jewish. Notably they went to good schools and became lawyers. Their revealed preference is that they actually hate populism, try to enter any of their organizations (Heritage, CPI, the Legislature) as a Protestant / down scale heritage American.
"Just as the Catholic Church realized that it could not define itself by anathemas, and thus called the Second Vatican Council, so too did the Right need to define itself in a positive form."
Yeah, this is not the positive endorsement you think it is, given the nature of what Vatican II actually was.
I just heard Pete on Coffee and a Mike, been a casual fan of his since his appearances on Part of the Problem. I’m happy to subscribe for the annual membership but before I do I was wondering how I can learn more as I’d like to start a chapter in Rapid City South Dakota. I don’t know anything about Old Glory other than Pete is associated and between hearing his appearance on Gold Goats and Guns and Coffee and a Mike I can trust that whatever he’s attempting to do I’d like to help build if I can.

Do you see a correlation between with the sides of this divide and religion? (e.g. are most natcons christian and most paypal mafia non-religious?)

I think you missed the point of the analogy
Excellent insights.
'Anathema' new wordi added to my often loathed subpar subscriber vocabulary, thanks
