Jorge Fontevecchia en entrevista con el Politólogo y profesor asociado en la Universidad de Alabama.
Violent right-wing extremism again came to America's attention in the Capitol insurrection, including organized militia groups and white supremacists. How did these movements build support, radicalize, and evolve out of the alt-right? Sam Jackson tracks the growth of the militia movement and its involvement in right-wing politics, helping to explain the involvement of former military and law enforcement in the Capitol riot. George Hawley finds that online white nationalists were effectively hobbled by law enforcement after Charlottesville, but that their imagery and tactics live on in some of the right-wing extremism that followed. They both see the capitol insurrection as an amalgam of right-wing supporters with different motives.
Many if not most conservatives in the United States have very little idea where the conservative movement originated and how it developed. This episode provides an extremely condensed summary of the founding of conservatism in the wake of World War II, as well as a bit about its history since then. Key points include:· American conservatism is a modern political movement with postwar origins. It does not extend back to the founding, Edmund Burke, etc.· Contrary to its stated commitment to timeless principles, the beliefs of conservatism have continuously and even radically changed over time. · Conservatism was originally a tiny movement of people on the margins who achieved successes that were probably inconceivable to their founders. · Conservatism was originally separate from the Republican Party, then one faction within, and now today has become indistinguishable from it. The Republican Party is monolithically conservative today.· Social conservatives, as we understand the term today, were not originally part of the conservative movement and joined it much later in the 1970s and 80s. Further reading for those interested in the history of conservatism:George Nash, The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945 (considered the canonical history of the movement up through the mid-1970s)George Hawley, Right Wing Critics of American Conservatism (written by a University of Alabama professor)Paul Gottfried, Conservatism in America (the "loser's history" from a paleoconservative, written on an academic press).

The 2016 presidential election introduced America to the alt-right. What is it, where did they come from, who are they, and is it still a thing? This week we talk to George Hawley, a University of Alabama political scientist, and the author of Making Sense of the Alt-Right and other books on right-wing dissidents in America. George patiently answers our questions as we try to understand how the alt-right figures into both the history of domestic extremist groups and right-wing politics more broadly, both in the United States and abroad.
George Hawley joins our discussion to talk about his new book, Making Sense of the Alt-Right. We talk about the Alt-Right’s power—real and imagined—its political goals, and the composition of this largely online movement.

George Hawley has written Making Sense of the Alt-Right (Columbia University Press, 2017). Hawley is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Alabama. He is the author of three previous books. From the start of this book, Hawley makes clear the racism at the heart of the alt-right–or alternative right–movement, but what he is seeking, as the title suggests, is to draw subtle but important distinctions between this manifestation of racist political organizing and others. As such, Making Sense of the Alt-Right explores how the alt-right differs from traditional white nationalism, white supremacism, libertarianism, and other extremist movements. Hawley argues that the alt-right's use of offensive humor and its adeptness at social media trolling can make it difficult to determine its objectives. He is able to synthesize a movement that not only disagrees with liberalism but also fundamentally rejects most of the principles of conservatism in the US and has been energized by President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump’s campaign coincided with the increasing mainstream awareness of the alt-right, a group which has gained recent national attention after it organized an ultimately violent protest in Charlottesville last weekend. But while public name recognition of this group has increased in the past two years, the full extent of their breadth and popularity are not always clear. For starters, one important way this group differs from previous far-right movements is their relationship with Christianity. “The alt-right is now mostly ignoring the religious question,” said George Hawley, the author of the forthcoming book, Making Sense of the Alt-Right. “That sets it apart from earlier far-right movements. Obviously, the KKK presented itself as an explicitly Protestant movement…The alt-right seems to be of the view that Christianity is becoming marginally irrelevant, at least in American politics, and as such it seems to be largely avoiding the subject.” Hawley joined assistant editor Morgan Lee and editor in chief Mark Galli on Quick to Listen this week to discuss the true influence and popularity of this community, its connection—or lack thereof—with Christianity, and what role the church could play in fighting its message.
