I consider one American commentator to stand above all others, who articulates what I wish I was bright and erudite enough to think: David Brooks, Columnist for the New York Times, contributor to The Atlantic, participant on Friday’s PBS NewsHour. Below is a link to an article Mr. Brooks published in The Atlantic earlier this month, “What Happened to American Conservatism?”. An ode to what American conservatism used to be and making stark distinctions between that philosophy and what passes for Conservativism in the Trump Era, it is not the lightest of reading, but I would submit that it is well worth the investment of your time.
“… the rightward edge of the leftward tendency.” Awesome! Encompasses the best of both philosophies, in my opinion.
