Whitepilled with Scott Greer
The first 50 people to RSVP with code PILLED will get free access to this event.
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, his blunt talk on immigration and American decline shocked the political class—but to millions of voters it felt like long-suppressed truths finally spoken aloud.
In his new book Whitepill: The Online Right and the Making of Trump’s America, Scott Greer traces how forgotten traditions of the Right—paleoconservatism and early internet libertarianism—collided with newer digital movements such as the Alt-Right and Neoreaction to forge the intellectual atmosphere that made Trump possible.
Drawing on his firsthand experience inside DC conservative circles and deep immersion in online subcultures, he shows how the failures of the GOP during the Obama years, combined with the unconstrained meme culture of the internet, shattered the old conservative order and remade American politics.
Part history, part insider’s chronicle, Whitepill explains how Trump and the online Right upended the GOP and what it will take for the new Right to move from rebellion into order.
Join Scott Greer and Davis Hunt (The Pamphleteer) for a conversation on the rise of the online Right, the collapse of the old conservative consensus, and the political realities that followed.
Books will be available for purchase.
