April 2021

"[Sen. Josh] Hawley's vision of government is a vision of vast power, used to forcibly advance a particular kind of life. Yet he also represents a link to the party's past, following in the long tradition of socially conservative scolds and media panic mongers who have found a home on the American right….He may well be the GOP's dark future, bringing the culture war into the social media era and repurposing the Progressive Era's statist playbook for faux-populist ends."
