Yet the long historical ties between secularism and liberalism do not rule out the possibility of secular conservatives. So who are Hochman’s secular conservatives? It is difficult to escape the conclusion that Hochman’s secular conservatives are overwhelmingly a multi-class cohort of aggrieved white guys. As far as I can tell, his ‘secular’ conservatives simply seem to be not overtly religious conservatives who have an affinity for the culture war policies of the Trump base and its elite mouthpieces at Fox News, National Review and beyond. The closest parallel I can see to Hochman’s secular conservatives are far-right wing parties like Rassemblement National in France.
