Read it in The FP: @ManaAfsari on the revival of the “great man” theory:

It isn’t a political force that draws male voters to Trump. It’s a human one.

Posting Mana’s essay however-many days late to the party a) because it’s very good and b) because it illustrates how ill-equipped politics is to be a solution for fundamental human yearnings. https://t.co/6KJlsGXmN8

I expected to find something of a political sideshow at NatCon; instead, I found a movement, perhaps the only one I’d encountered during my time in D.C.

A wonderful, thought-provoking piece by @manaafsari — and I say that as one of the speakers at the Liberalism conference she criticizes!

This essay by @manaafsari is the best thing that has been written about the young men who love Trump
Just a great, rich piece, start to finish: https://t.co/D33mRlZpTv

As the article on the appeal of postliberal intellectual spaces goes around, this piece about the DNC convention by @proseb4bros is, among other things, about what happened to the ambitious ideas that once animated--or at least contended for space in--the Democratic party

So proud of @the_point_mag for publishing this brilliant and, from where I'm standing, not a little heartbreaking piece by @manaafsari about young people's hunger for ideas and ideals and how the left and the right are trying and failing to meet it. https://t.co/lxxa9gNxlE

The best essay about today’s age-related political realignment that I’ve seen
New online, a preview from issue 34: Mana Afsari on National Conservatism’s 2024 conference, the young men who attended it, and what post-liberal politics offers to a generation that came of age in the midst of the #resistance to Trump 1.0. https://t.co/g1CFex8apm

The first, by Mana Afsari, is a dispatch from last summer and fall in Washington, D.C., with a focus on the younger right-wing men for whom Donald Trump has become a “great man” of American politics—and the center of their own aspirations for the future. https://t.co/g1CFex8apm

This is one of my favorite essays to which I’ve ever had the pleasure of lending an editorial hand—a piece of great honesty and generosity. Very happy it will be in the next issue of @the_point_mag
“The day following the election in 2016, my professor didn’t lecture—he entered a room of 300 students, sat down on the stage floor and put his graying head in his hands. I remember thinking he seemed childish, selfish. I did not want to be like him.”
