Many on the right have bristled at presidential power’s being constrained over the past century by two waves of administrative reform. The first dates back to the early 20th century and the rise of the bureaucratic-regulatory state during the Progressive and New Deal eras. The second wave emerged in the 1970s, as Congress responded to the abuses of power by Richard Nixon.The presidency has evolved to become an office exercising general (and often passive) oversight of vast departments and agencies, which are staffed by career civil servants who stay on across administrations.Presidents are constrained by layers of lawyers and others determining what is allowable based on law and precedent. This evolution came about in part because the presidency can be the office most susceptible to despotic or tyrannical rule.That’s where the more radical critique emanating from the hard right focuses its attention. Schmitt (who died in 1985) developed his most influential ideas during the turbulence and ineffectual governance of Germany’s Weimar Republic. In his view, liberalism has a fatal weakness. Its aversion to violent conflict drives it to smother intense debate with ostensibly neutral procedures that conceal the truth about the nature of politics. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/opinion/trump-schmitt-strauss-intellectuals.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/opinion/trump-schmitt-strauss-intellectuals.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare</a>

Chuck DarwinAnton and Yarvin’s May 2021 conversation was recorded for the podcast of the American Mind, a publication of the powerful rightwing <a href="https://c.im/tags/Claremont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Claremont</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Institute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Institute</a>, where Anton is a senior fellow, and whose growing influence during the Trump era has seen it described as the “nerve center of the American right”.💥On 8 December, Trump’s transition team announced that Anton would be appointed director of policy planning at the state department. Anton also served in a communications role in Trump’s first-term national security council from February 2017 until April 2018, resigning the day before neoconservative John Bolton assumed the role of national security adviser.After leaving the first Trump administration, Anton did not abandon Trump, but continued writing about US liberal democracy in bleak terms.In "Up from Conservatism", a 2023 anthology of essays edited by the executive director of Claremont’s "Center for the American Way of Life", Arthur Milikh, Anton wrote that “the United States peaked around 1965”, and that Americans are ruled by “a network of unelected bureaucrats … corporate-tech-finance senior management, ‘experts’ who set the boundaries of acceptable opinion, and media figures who police those boundaries”.Anton continued the discussion in sections headed “The universities have become evil”, “Our economy is fake”, “The people are corrupt”, “Our civilization has lost the will to live”.His and Yarvin’s conversation was ostensibly about his 2020 book, "The Stakes". That book was controversial even on the right for its prolonged consideration of autocratic “Caesarism” as a means of resolving American decadence.In the book, he defined <a href="https://c.im/tags/Caesarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Caesarism</a> as a “form of one-man rule: halfway … between monarchy and tyranny”.He adds, though, that “Caesarism is not tyranny, which, strictly understood, is a regime that usurps a legitimate and functioning government”, whereas Caesarism implements “authoritarian one-man rule partially legitimized by necessity” – that is, “the breakdown of republican, constitutional rule”, adding that “a nation no longer capable of ruling itself must yet be ruled”.He writes that a 💥“Red Caesar” could be attractive to “the reds” in the Republican coalition, who he says are “under constant rhetorical, political, and, increasingly, physical attack, especially in blue states”, -- making them “more likely to turn to a Caesar”.Anton stops short of openly calling for authoritarian rule, but in general, he writes that the advantages of Caesarism include “continuity and stability” and “the prospect of avoiding conflict”, and that it “tends to engender calm”.<a href="https://c.im/tags/CurtisYarvin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CurtisYarvin</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MichaelAnton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MichaelAnton</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RedCaesar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedCaesar</a>

Scott Campbell"Pomona is setting an incredibly dangerous precedent surrounding freedom of speech on campus. The college’s willingness to suspend and ban students expressing solidarity with Palestine, without presenting any evidence or allowing due process, is perilous to the future of free speech and freedom of protest at these colleges. Pomona’s ban on The Outback’s co-Editor-in-Chief, threat of sanctions against Claremont Undercurrents, and intimidation of a The Scripps Voice reporter are active attempts by Pomona administration to quell student voices and ultimately suppress pro-Palestinian student activism on campus."<a href="https://tsl.news/you-cant-silence-us-a-united-front-against-pomonas-repression/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tsl.news/you-cant-silence-us-a-united-front-against-pomonas-repression/</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#media</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/press" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#press</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PomonaCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PomonaCollege</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Claremont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Claremont</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a>

Scott CampbellFrom a hostile source, but a look at what went down today at the Claremont Colleges:"Streams of protesters from different campuses convened at the intersection of 6th Street and N. College Ave., forming a group of several hundred. "Students then marched south to Carnegie Hall, flooding in through the front entrance. Two administrators briefly attempted to block the doors and ID scanner, but were overwhelmed by the mass of protesters."Inside, students chanted while organizers handed out pamphlets. Lead organizers commandeered multiple classrooms to lead 'teach-in' sessions for participants. "Photos from inside the building show graffiti reading 'INTIFADA,' the Arabic word for 'uprising' or 'rebellion,' spray painted on walls, inside the elevators, and over the carpeting. Protesters also cut electrical cords inside classrooms, sliced a projector screen, and spray-painted over a bust of William Johnson, a former Pomona trustee."<a href="https://www.claremontindependent.com/post/protestors-occupy-vandalize-pomona-s-carnegie-hall-on-one-year-anniversary-of-october-7th-attacks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.claremontindependent.com/post/protestors-occupy-vandalize-pomona-s-carnegie-hall-on-one-year-anniversary-of-october-7th-attacks</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PomonaCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PomonaCollege</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Claremont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Claremont</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a>

Scott CampbellThis semester, the progressive, student-run Motley Coffeehouse at Scripps College in Claremont, CA, hung a Palestinian flag in the space. The administration ordered it removed, saying it made the cafe unwelcoming for some. The coffeehouse refused. This morning, as the cafe was preparing to host a "Market for Mutual Aid" to raise funds for folks in the Congo, Palestine, and Sudan, Scripps shut down the coffeehouse, and in the twisted logic of power, deployed feminist language in doing so, claiming closing the space will preserve "the feminist and intersectional ethos that has shaped the Motley’s culture." As much as Scripps wishes it to be the case, this is certainly not the end of the story.<a href="https://tsl.news/scripps-administration-shuts-down-motley-coffeehouse/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tsl.news/scripps-administration-shuts-down-motley-coffeehouse/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Scripps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scripps</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Claremont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Claremont</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#California</a>

Chuck DarwinStephen Wolfe grew up in Napa, California, and his father was an admirer of the right-wing pundit and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. After attending West Point and serving in the Army, Wolfe earned advanced degrees before leaving academia to “do the Wendell Berry thing” in North Carolina with his wife and four kids.Over the summer, Wolfe, 41, agreed to speak with me on the condition that I refer to him as “Dr. Wolfe” and call him an “expert on Christian nationalism.” The Dr. Wolfe I spoke with was a more muted version of the firebrand I’d watched online. He said his ideal version of America would be led by a Caesar figure. Gay marriage would be strictly prohibited. Women would not be allowed to vote —instead, men would vote for their households.When I brought up the bit from his book about heretics being killed, he grew annoyed. “I do think it’s permissible, in principle, for a state to suppress theological heresy, but that doesn’t mean that it’s prudent or proper, suitable in every circumstance or every tradition or way of life.” The Founding Fathers, he added, had encouraged religious liberty, so killing heretics would not be appropriate in the United States that we inhabit.We turned to remarks he had made at a recent conference convened by Brian Sauvé: “I think we need to reflect on this idea of Judeo-Christianity, or Judeo-Christian worldview, or Judeo-Christian whatever, and really eradicate that from our thinking. Because if we say that America is a Judeo-Christian country, then it can’t be a Christian country, okay?” What role, I asked him, would Jews play? After a deep sigh, he told me that they would be allowed to “exercise their religion freely.”We spoke a week before Vance’s RNC speech, and Wolfe’s remarks helped me understand what the TheoBros heard in Vance’s phrase about "America as a people". The founders, Wolfe noted, intended for their country to be “Anglo-Protestant with an American inflection.” America, he continued, is “a place of settlement and rootedness, but it’s an open ethnicity in which people can become one of us.” Which is to say that, like some others, Wolfe is not necessarily opposed to the idea of nonwhite people in America —as long as they agree to assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant dominant culture.In this telling, America is not a pluralistic society at all, but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate. Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Wolfe what motivated him. “I want Christians to be more assertive and to recognize the Christian heritage of the American way of life, and to seek to restore that,” he said. “This is a Christian country, and we’ve got to work to restore it to what it once was"In his keynote address at Sauvé’s conference, titled “Why Multicultural Pluralism Fails and What to Build Instead,” Wolfe called the concept of America as a melting pot “an early 20th-century idea cooked up by a Jew in New York who despised the confident Anglo-Protestant establishment.” WASPs were the “distinct ethnicity” of America, he insisted, and America should only welcome those who aspired to assimilate. As he put it, “This is our homeland, and we welcome you on the condition of conformity.” Or, in the words of JD Vance, America “is a group of people.”<a

Chuck DarwinWilliam Wolfe served in the Trump administration both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense and as director of House affairs at the Department of State.

The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors and Oklahoma Sen. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dusty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dusty</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deevers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deevers</a> as a co-author, called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals. As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses, including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.” The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage. There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says. “If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media, but in mainstream conservative outlets, it was <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stephen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stephen</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wolfe</a> (no relation to William) who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world. In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative, Wolfe paints America as a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/gynocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gynocracy</a>” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders. (Sound familiar?) He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener

Chuck DarwinOne eager customer is 38-year-old TheoBro <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Andrew</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Isker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Isker</a> —the pastor who interned at Wilson’s church, studied divinity at New Saint Andrews, and co-wrote a book on Christian nationalism with <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Andrew</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Torba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Torba</a>, the openly antisemitic CEO of the social media platform <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gab</a>. In July, Isker announced on X that he planned to move his family of seven to lead a church in a New Founding community in Tennessee. Life in his native Minnesota, he said, had become untenable because of permissive laws around trans rights and abortion, not to mention how hospitable the state has been to <a href="https://c.im/tags/refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#refugees</a>. “Minnesota is one of the top destinations for resettling foreign people hostile to our way of life,” he said.That month, Isker spoke at a Texas conference about the “war on white America” alongside <a href="https://c.im/tags/Paul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paul</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gottfried" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gottfried</a>, the mentor of prominent white nationalist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Richard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Richard</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Spencer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spencer</a>. The conference was hosted by the "True Texas Project", a far-right group with ties to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.Like many TheoBros, Isker sees much to like in Vance. In early July, before Trump announced his running mate, Isker referred to him as “Senator JD Vance (R-Heritage America).” In late July, he posted a video of Vance and told his 29,000 followers, “You need to double down on childless cat lady discourse. Kamala sees happy, large families and hates them. She wants them destroyed. She wants you to never be able to have this. She is a nasty, bitter harridan who hates all that is true, good, and beautiful.”One problem is that there simply are not enough TheoBros to populate Christian communities like the one Isker plans to move to. Enter <a href="https://c.im/tags/William" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#William</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wolfe</a>, the founder of the "Center for Baptist Leadership", which aims to persuade members of the Southern Baptist Convention that it, the largest of all Protestant denominations in the United States, has fallen prey to the corrupting forces of liberalism. Baptists are only the beginning. Wolfe wants to win over the entire evangelical mainstream, which he and other TheoBros refer to as “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Big" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Big</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Eva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eva</a>.” In August, he posted on X, “Once you realize that Big Eva thinks it’s a bigger sin to desire to preserve the customs, heritage, values, and cultural homogeneity of your own nation than to kill the unborn in the womb, you can better understand their moral framework.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Josh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Josh</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Abbotoy" class="mention hashtag"

Chuck DarwinA New Conservative Brain Trust Is Resettling Across America Pro-Trump professionals aren’t just talking about remaking Western civilization.

From its perch in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, it has become a leading intellectual center of the pro-Trump right.Without fanfare, however, some of Claremont’s key figures have been leaving California to find ideologically friendlier climes. Ryan P. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Williams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Williams</a>, the think tank’s president, moved to a suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in early April.His friend and Claremont colleague Michael <a href="https://c.im/tags/Anton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anton</a> — a California native who played a major role in 2016 to convince conservative intellectuals to vote for Mr. Trump — moved to the Dallas area two years ago. The institute’s vice president for operations and administration has moved there, too. Others are following. Mr. Williams opened a small office in another Dallas-Fort Worth suburb in May, and said he expects to shrink Claremont’s California headquarters.“A lot of us share a sense that Christendom is unraveling,” said Skyler <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kressin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kressin</a>, 38, who is friendly with the Claremont leaders and shares many of their concerns.

Scott CampbellClaremont FJP Statement on Student Encampment at PomonaAs the Israeli military invades Rafah and continues its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, Claremont students have set up an encampment on Pomona’s Marston Quad and are demanding that Pomona College cease its support of that genocide. Pomona College’s faculty and students have each voted overwhelmingly for divestment – the Pomona College board and President Gabi Starr must now commit to following through on the ethical, anti-genocide actions the Pomona community has called for. The students' principled protests are a response to the Pomona administration's failure to honor these student and faculty calls for disclosure and for a commitment to and process of divestment. Any disruption to campus activity is a result of the Pomona administration’s refusal to heed these calls from students and faculty.The Claremont Faculty for Justice in Palestine reiterates our stance in support of both student activism and Palestinian liberation.We reiterate our support for students’ actions of civil disobedience in protest of genocide and apartheid, including encampments, across the globe and especially in Claremont.We reiterate our demand that campus administrations honor their commitments to freedom of political expression and keep their students, faculty, and staff safe from arrest and assault by militarized police. We condemn any campus administration that chooses to bring in law enforcement rather than heed the campus community’s call to refuse complicity in genocide.We reiterate our call for divestment, a call applicable to every one of the Claremont Colleges, but one that begins with Pomona because it holds the largest endowment among the Claremont Colleges.We reiterate our call for a boycott of institutions complicit in the denial of Palestinian rights, beginning with Pitzer College Council’s vote to endorse an academic boycott of those institutions.We stand in solidarity with students as they put themselves on the line for Palestinian liberation.We stand in solidarity with Palestine.*Claremont Faculty for Justice in Palestine includes over 80 faculty and staff members in the Consortium.

Scott CampbellOn Friday, students from the seven schools in Claremont, California, began an encampment at Pitzer College. Actions have occurred over the course of the weekend, including the following this evening:Students occupied and shut down the “A Taste Of Pitzer” alumni music festival, giving alumni and administrators a true taste of the Pitzer community’s commitment to the radical pursuit of justice. Students are demanding that the Board of Trustees come to the nearby Gaza Solidarity Encampment, which remains active, and meet our three demands:– Disclosure and divestment of investments in companies complicit in Israeli apartheid and genocide as well as all weapons manufacturers– Official adoption of a policy of academic boycott of the complicit Israeli university system, as called for by Pitzer’s shared governance body in an overwhelming majority vote– An end to repression of student protesters, and revision of the Claremont Colleges’ protest policy by an elected committee of students and faculty.We are in solidarity with the student encampments across the country reclaiming physical and political space for anti-war and pro-justice movements, and above all with the Palestinian people. We are committed to ending our colleges’ and the United States’ support of Israel’s genocidal campaign of ethnic domination and territorial expansion.
