This issue features a series of essays examining the replacement of the old Reaganite model of the Republican Party, known as the "Three-Legged Stool," which had bound together the competing interests of neoconservative military interventionism, neoliberal economic globalism, and religious social conservatism.
Chronicles Editor Paul Gottfried opens the series by critiquing the old Reaganite model as fundamentally unstable, self-contradictory, and dominated by the neoconservative agenda: https://chroniclesmagazine.org/view/the-gippers-stool/
Spencer Morrison argues that the economic globalism of the old model undermined the American economy, and that the country should return to the Hamiltonian "American System" that first made the nation great.

Srdja Trifkovic compares the old Reaganite model with the promise, and missteps, of the emerging Trumpian system: https://chroniclesmagazine.org/view/a-tale-of-two-stools/
Dan McCarthy shows how the "stool" was used for decades to prevent the emergence of right-wing populist candidates, until Trump broke through the barriers based on a platform of economic nationalism, immigration restriction, and halting the advance of cultural leftism.
