Long before the rise of Trump, the American conservative mainstream enjoyed a complex partnership with the Far Right.

Historians used the Twitter thread to add context and accuracy to the news cycle in 2018. Here’s how they did it.

Conservative influencers are pushing for a return to the dark days of 1950s inquisitions.

A new PBS documentary whitewashes the conservative founder of National Review.

It was actually from a 1950s antisemitic and white supremacist magazine. Who cares?

In his history of the John Birch Society, Matthew Dallek says Republicans allowed the extreme fringe to “eventually cannibalize the entire party.”

A new book shows just how porous the dividing line has been between the far right and mainstream conservatism.

Why it’s foolish to think the modern GOP will ever break with its lunatic fringe.
