Read Thomas Zimmer on David Brooks' "moralizing nostalgia" and its powerful appeal to centrists along with Oliver Haynes on how center-right parties in Europe are trying to absorb the lethal rhetoric of the extreme right.
Zimmer:
"Weaponized nostalgia is an extremely potent tool in the hands of reactionaries, an important vehicle to transport rightwing ideas into the mainstream and make the reactionary project more palatable."
