William Buckley and his contingent died off around the turn of the century. I don't know what would bring those kind of folks out of hiding, if they even exist any longer. The magazine is still around.

They aren’t career activists, they’re raising their families, building and creating things. They are just deplatformed, hidden and ostracized by the media, elites, Hollywood, professorial crowds and the woke warriors.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoYou appear to be confusing Buckley with Trump/Fox-level folks—not the same group. Buckley and his ilk were educated elites and intellectually-oriented, at least on the surface. We lost a lot when they were overrun with the current mainstream "conservative" folks. Look up the John Birch Society and George Wallace for example. National Review was able to discredit that similar level of discourse back in the day.
