They are not “post-liberals.” They are reactionaries and bigots. And, yes, fascists. Let’s be clear and honest about that.

Jon, While your comment is not addressed to me, I expect you and Georgia likely don’t share the same understanding of the term “post-liberals,” whose meaning in much of the literature is blurred with “right wing post liberal populism” or “illiberal populism” or even “Putinist Populism.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall HCR’s LFAA defining the term.

I find the term 'post-liberal' confusing along with the other terms you mentioned. Sorry.

Roxanna, No need to apologize. Your reply amplifies the point of my comment—namely that no intelligent, reasoned discussion can proceed if we don’t take great care to establish our way of understanding a particular term or issue, our way of describing or defining it.
