There are many labels for the movement I describe as “Bull Moose” populism. It’s mainly known as America First, National Conservatism, National Populism, the “New” Right, or Trumpism. Whatever its name, the candidates who can articulate the vision best will see the most passionate grassroots support in 2022 and beyond.

Commentary: The Rise of ‘Bull Moose’ Populism Is What’s Giving Life to the GOP
Former President Teddy Roosevelt felt “strong as a bull moose” after losing the Republican presidential nomination in 1912. Now, thanks to President Donald Trump’s legacy, that “bull moose” energy is on the winning side of the GOP’s 2022 primary season.

Teddy's Bull Moose party split the conservative vote and gave us Woodrow Wilson, who got us into a war that was none of our concern.
ReplyDeleteDid he split the vote, or did he demonstrate an existing split? There are several things the Bull Moose did that are, at best, questionable; but I think the GOP lack of awareness for voter concerns predates, and postdates, his time in the sun.
DeleteGood chance TR would have got us into that war as well.
Delete(For the record, I admire TR- sportsman, naturalist, explorer, author.
He was a MAN.)
votes dont mater so why bother.
ReplyDeleteBull Moose Populism, where more hot air bags spew more hot air. Bull Barrel Populism, where real men take back their country is a more "hands on" approach which seems to me 110 years ahead of any kind of political jibber jabber methods. Btw, comming soon to an area near you as well so support that instead. Ohio Guy
