There's also the 130+ IQ group of neoreactionaries who like Trump from a perspective informed by history.

  They're opportunists at best. Demagoguery isn't exactly a new art. It has been a driving force to centralize power since the dawn of human civilization. IMHO, it's sick and pathetic that many who are capable of having the greatest positive impact on society often squander it on vanity and narcissism.

  I had not heard the term. The current top post in their subreddit is "How to genocide inferior kinds in a properly Christian manner" Sounds like a great group of folks.

    Here's an article that summarizes the ideas of reactionaries, attempting to present them in most charitable way the author can: http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/03/03/reactionary-philosophy-in-an-enormous-planet-sized-nutshell/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/03/03/reactionary-philosophy-... There's also the same author's attempt at rebutting the most common neoreactionary beliefs, although per disclaimer at the beginning, the author doesn't endorse everything he wrote there anymore: http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/10/20/the-anti-reactionary-faq/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/10/20/the-anti-reactionary-fa... A long read, but should clear things up :).

    You just made the classic mistake of conflating evil (or differently moraled) with dumb.

      I didn't call anyone dumb. Read "great folks" as "good people". (Also with sarcasm)
