CONSERVING CONSERVATISM MOST CONSERVATIVELY: Bulwark columnist gives a heads up about a couple of people wearing ‘1776’ hats.

President Donald Trump actually packed a lot into the final year of his term. He did what he could to root out critical race theory-based training from federal agencies (something President Joe Biden immediately reversed) and announced the “1776 Project,” a direct challenge to the “1619 Project” that had worked its way from the New York Times into the history curriculum of a lot of school districts. Trump wanted children to be proud of their country and proposed an alternative curriculum to do just that.

Bulwark columnist Amanda Carpenter spotted conservative columnist Ken Blackwell wearing a “1776” hat next to Brooke Rollins, and Carpenter broke out the red flags:

I so old, I can remember when Bill Kristol edited a magazine that actually celebrated America’s founding instead of believing it’s a dog whistle.
