It’s coming from what The Week’s Matthew Walther has called “Barstool conservatives,” borrowing the name from the sports site whose founder is simpatico with (but not in any sense a formal leader of) this crowd. Barstool conservatives, Walther explains, “are people who, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, accept pornography, homosexuality, drug use, legalized gambling, and whatever GamerGate was about.”

They’re the GOP voters who at least overlooked Trump’s pornographic lifestyle, deeming it an acceptable price of power, or outright embraced it as a desirable aspect of his candidacy. They shrugged at the Access Hollywood tape and never looked back. They may regurgitate some “standard libertarian talking points” on economic issues, as Walther notes, but they’re far more populist than libertarians and far less concerned about fiscal discipline or private property rights.

Libertarians tend to be ideological to a fault; the Barstool conservative has “traded causes for clichés” and meme wars for a legislative agenda. Libertarians will agonize over whether a tax cut is still good if it adds to the deficit or plays favorites in the marketplace; Barstool conservatives are just here to own some libs. And while libertarians can be libertines (I very much am not), libertinism is part of the Barstool vibe. As Walther has since observed, he could equally have called this group “porn conservatives.”
