It is a little bit of a misleading label though, because what it describes is not so much an alternative to mainstream conservatism but more a peeling back of the veneer to show what right wing politics has really been about for decades now. We know now that all the talk of small government, individual responsibility, family values, and all the other standard GOP talking points were really just little more than a smokescreen for a particularly vitriolic brand of racial politics specifically targeted at uneducated lower class whites, exploiting their prejudices to lure them into voting against their own economic self-interest.
