It is disturbing when you see a man like Tucker Carlson, who seems a reasonably objective fellow, painted with the brush of authority by the likes of Virginian Rich Lowry. Lowry, of course, is the editor of the once conservative publication, The National Review. Lowry’s views are aligned with Eric Foner et al—the nationalists.
Recently, 11-1-19, on The Tucker Carlson Fox program, Lowery was a guest and used the opportunity to espouse the counter-historical truth of the founding of the nation. At length, of course, the names Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt rolled off the tongue of Lowery. All of this ilk he attributed to the great nationalism that Donald Trump has been marketing on the conservative (not to be confused with Republican) side of the political continuum. Trump meant something else, but Lowry wants to sell books in addition to selling the contemporary national United States (a single entity) as opposed to the “founded” confederated union of states.
