• The “Claremont-ers”:Intellectuals affiliated with the synonymous conservative think tank founded by the followers of Jewish-German philosopher Leo Strauss who advocate a radical recovery of American’s founding principles.

• The National Conservatives: A big-tent movement promoting nationalism and a homogenous nation-state.

• The hard right: A loose constellation of online agitators with PhDs who promote misogyny, race theory and aestheticized hyper-masculinity.
