Debating the Right: Croaky and Simon Clash Over the Soul of Conservatism

In this heated and unapologetically nerdy episode of Firing Lane, Croaky goes head-to-head with Simon Laird in a battle over the soul of the right. Is Trumpism the new conservative movement, or is it a populist detour from Russell Kirk’s moral order?
From the roots of fusionism and the specter of the John Birch Society to whether pardoning anarcho-libertarian cybercriminals is just good politics, no sacred cow is spared.
💥 Buckleyites, paleos, populists, and libertarians all take a few hits.
💥 A discussion of justice, immigration, Israel, and drug policy spirals into a philosophical brawl over the meaning of ordered liberty.
💥 Featuring hot takes, cold facts, and an awkward defense of Ross Ulbricht.

Whether you're a purist, pragmatist, or just politically confused, this is the episode where ideas get tested.
