National Conservatism, Then and Now
Brad Littlejohn
National Affairs

As American conservatives increasingly feel the cultural and political headwinds blowing against them, some have begun to mutter, only partially in jest, that it is time to start thinking again about secession. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, never one to shy away from the spotlight, went so far as to suggest that it was time for a "national divorce," so that red states could unburden themselves of having to compromise with and foot the bill for those pesky liberals in the blue states.

It would be easy to dismiss such slogans as mere rabble-rousing rhetoric, but Greene was only giving voice to sentiments that have taken broader hold among many conservatives. A poll conducted shortly after her headline-grabbing tweet showed that only 55% of Republicans firmly opposed the idea of their own states voting to secede from the union. In an inversion of political strategists' hoary maxim, the motto of today's war-weary conservatives in America increasingly seems to be, "if you can't beat 'em, leave 'em."
