A Popular Front of the Right

Most popular fronts have tried to organize left to center movements.  This is what both Republicans and Democrats in the US have studiously tried to prevent in the past 70 years–a popular front that had within it radical leftist organizations.  That has led to a Red Scare in the Truman administration, a conservative opposition in the Kennedy-Johnson era, and the development of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council in the latter days of the Cold War.

What that has produced in reaction is potentially a popular front of the right, argues Wobbly Juan Conantz.  It is a view worth considering and testing with evidence of how the Trump administration operates.
