Donald J. Trump’s presidential victory was as much a shock to conservatives as it was to liberals and progressives.  For conservatives, especially among literary and academic types, Trump’s campaign seemed to confirm all the worst stereotypes about their movement that they had thought would surely doom his campaign and against which they had fought for decades.  

And yet, Trump won, largely as a result of swaying a segment of voters who had supported Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.What now is the future of conservatism given this new reality?
