"If you’re any kind of half-diligent observer of the American Right of the Trump and post-Trump era, you’ll encounter the name 'Claremont Institute' regularly. But when you begin to tally up the California think tank’s tanks accomplishments, things start to appear a little eerie: just about every illiberal, anti-democratic, and demagogic project attempted by the Right in the past few years is connected to Claremont in some way. The sheer amount of villainy engaged in by its members and associates—who like to ironically refer to themselves 'Claremonsters'—starts to verge on the self-parodic and camp. Without flattering their vanity too much, they can appear at times to be something like SPECTRE, the shadowy organization in the James Bond novels and films that turns out to be behind every crime and calamity in the world. But, more seriously, it’s hard to avoid the impression that the Claremont Institute, rather than being an ivory tower or staid policy shop, constitutes a veritable conspiracy against the American republic.
Let’s look at some of their alumni:"

The Claremont Institute wants to "reeducate" federal workers into MAGA ideology. This place is a cancer. How many more lawyers can they get disbarred?

"Natalism" conference coming to Austin, TX, in a few weeks. Speakers include white nationalist Charles Cornish-Dale (aka Raw Egg Nationalist), race-"science" advocate Jordan Lasker (aka Cremieux), and tradwife and former contributor to a magazine run by the eugenicist Claremont Institute "Peachy Keenan". Kind of makes you wonder: natalism for whom? 🤔

It depends how you mean it. There were lots of groups populated by members of the elite to advocate for particular reactionary causes that might overlap, to a greater or lesser extent, with the Heritage Foundation's goals.
Maybe most notable was the America First Committee (actually only founded in Sept. 1940, but close enough). It was different from the Heritage Foundation in that it brought together a really disparate coalition, but it did represent a pretty fashy outlook (which is why their primary goal was to keep the US out of WWII) and basically sought to convince people that what happens in Germany stays in Germany.
The second wave of the KKK was already fading by 1939, but still fairly potent in some areas. It was different from HF in that it was kind of a social club with a right-wing, racist "activist" element. But it was also a political machine that was successful in locking down public office in a lot of places, particularly throughout Indiana and in pockets in other states.
The American Eugenics Society was going full steam ahead throughout the 1930s. I think a lot of HF people would push back at being associated with eugenics, but it's worth keeping in mind that the ideology of the AES and its members tended to be extremely elitist, anti-immigrant, and white supremacist; the whole point of eugenics was to "preserve" and "improve" a kind of idealized northern European racial "type". And given the HF's combination of elitism and xenophobia with a desire to control other people's reproduction, there's at least a whiff of a similarity. Also, see the next paragraph...
It's also worth noting that Heritage isn't the only think tank in the elite right-wing orbit. Probably the most notorious right now is the Claremont Institute, which does, in fact, advocate for eugenics (they claim they don't because they don't use that term, but in practice, they're all for it); last year, the HF gave Claremont its "Heritage Innovation Prize", which comes with $100k.
The Center for Renewing America is another. It is run by its founder and president Russ Vought, who is now the director of the Office of Management and Budget under Trump, and he was a driving force behind HF's Project 2025 document.
Anyways, there are lots of echoes from the 1930s today. Not exactly the same, but clearly there are historical and ideological linkages that are worth exploring.

Now that #KariLake has been appointed to run #VoiceOfAmerica it's worth reading this article about what happened to that organization under the "leadership" of #MichaelPack (a colleague of #JohnEastman at #ClaremontInstitute) during the last Trump administration.
#VOA also has a Mastodon account @VOANews so we'll be able to watch Ms. Lake spew #propaganda in real time.

J.D.Vance himself has admitted he is “plugged into a lot of weird, right-wing subcultures” and one of his faves is the obscure #ClaremontInstitute .
Spawned in Southern California out of the teachings of an academia entrenched #BarryGoldwater speech writer named #HenryJaffa , since his death, it has found new life embracing 21st century figures like #CharlieKirk , #RonDeSantis , #JohnEastman and actively seeks out extremist #RWNJ sheriffs for intensive "fellowships".
What #Politico terms "the intellectual nerve center of the Trumpist right " it's #thinktank was one of seven main influences recently highlighted as shaping recent #Catholic convert #JDVance and his #weird worldviews. Vance has eagerly embraced a host of #FarRight milieu members including members of secret societies, maverick publishers, and acolytes of advocates to "prioritize re-Christianizing America".
#Claremont Institute has rebranded itself from its right wing roots in #academia to a more fearsome forefront of racially divisive anti-Democratic alt right think tanks and what one prominent former #GOP campaign manager called the "West Point of American fascism".
Nowadays Claremont seeks out #socialmedia savvy and influential leaders, such as Vance, DeSantis & Josh Hawley who are white and wryly and openly contemptuous of the left, most minorities and even #democracy itself. Eagerly embracing divisions and propelling #MAGA Xtian supremacist ideologies, the place that brought you #Pizzagate is far from honest #AbeLincoln or other flag bearers of Claremont's #conservatism hailed at the orgs founding.
Nowadays, largely estranged from the CA based institution it was founded at, the founder of the Claremont Institute's archives are actually held at Michigan's rural #HillsdaleCollege—a private, #conservative #ChristianAcademy headed by one of the institute’s 70's era original members.

From the article:
Boise State University (BSU) professor and Claremont Institute scholar Scott Yenor was the hidden hand behind Action Idaho, a far-right online media platform that featured inflammatory rightwing commentary on politics in that state, documents obtained by the Guardian reveal.
The documents, obtained through public records requests, also show that Yenor sought and received funding for the initiative from wealthy and influential donors like Claremont Institute board chair, Thomas D Klingenstein.
He also attempted to hire a rising conservative writer, Pedro Gonzalez, to lead the initiative. Gonzalez was later embroiled in a controversy about antisemitic remarks he made in online chats in 2019 and 2020. They also show him tapping a network of expertise that overlaps both with the Claremont Institute and the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), a secretive fraternal Christian Nationalist organization the Guardian has reported on extensively.

Jason Wilson: US conservative thinktank’s links to extremist fraternal order: Claremont Institute officials closely involved with Society for American Civic Renewal, which experts say is rooted in Christian nationalism
"The president of the rightwing Claremont Institute & another senior Claremont official are both closely involved with the shadowy Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), an exclusive, men-only fraternal order which aims to replace the US government with an authoritarian “aligned regime”, & which experts say is rooted in extreme Christian nationalism & religious autocracy.
The revelations emerge from documents gathered in public records requests, including emails between several senior members of SACR: Claremont president Ryan P Williams; its director of state coalitions & Boise State University professor Scott Yenor; and others including former soap manufacturer and would-be “warlord” Charles Haywood."

Why has so much of the American conservative movement embraced the story that the principles of equality and the pursuit of a more just society are the greatest threats to Western civilization today?
Who or what is responsible for giving these paranoid ideas an intellectual veneer?
The 🔸Claremont Institute🔸 gets you much of the way to an answer.
Founded in 1979 in the city of Claremont, California (but not associated in an official way with any of the five colleges there), the Claremont Institute provided enthusiastic support for Donald Trump in 2016.
Individuals associated with Claremont now fund and help run the 🔸National Conservativism🔸 gatherings; Claremont Institute chairman and funder 🔹Thomas D. Klingenstein🔹also funds the 🔺Edmund Burke Foundation🔺, which has held those National Conservatism conferences across the globe.
Claremont is deeply involved in DeSantis’s effort to remake Florida’s state universities in the model of 🔸Hillsdale College🔸— a private, right-wing, conservative Christian academy in Michigan whose president, 🔹Larry Arnn🔹, happens to be one of the institute’s founders and former presidents.
Claremont honored DeSantis at an annual gala with its 2021 “Statesmanship Award,” and the governor returned the favor by organizing a discussion with a “brain trust” that included figures associated with the Claremont Institute.
If either #Trump or #DeSantis becomes president in 2024, Claremont and its associates are likely to be integral to the “brain trust” of the new administration.
Indeed, some of them are certain to become appointees in the administrative state that they wish (or so they say) to destroy.

Ironically, the folks pushing the "rescue-America-from-the-woke" narrative don’t look much like the hardworking “real” Americans they purport to speak for.
Educated, urbane, politely attired —they look a bit more like the villains of the tale than the people who are supposed to be rising up against the regime.
Yet, under Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, this conviction has become something close to the official ideology of the third most populous state in the nation.
Donald Trump too has shifted his rhetoric to claim ownership of what is, in essence, an ultra-MAGA narrative.
