Is There a ‘Generation Gap’ on the Right? The ‘Based’ Think So

Almost completely ignored by conservative media, there is a growing generation gap emerging within young conservatives that in some ways resembles the "generation gap" of the 1960s which saw the new left "hippie" generation emerge from liberal homes, as Midge Decter explained in her early book Liberal Parents, Radical Children. Now it is happening on the right. I started picking up on this story with Michael Anton's long essay almost three years ago on the phenomenon of the underground but highly popular book Bronze Age Mindset, which, it must be said, is a very different book from The Conservative Mind or The Road to Serfdom. Then I started following a group of mostly younger conservatives who participate actively on Twitter, and sometimes live in the "Spaces" chat communities that Twitter has launched.
