My flist is full of smart people. Can someone explain to me in very small words what Straussianism actually is and what constitutes the divide between East Coast Straussians and West Coast Straussians?
Afaik, MAGA isn't reviving it, but one of my podcasts that I listen to talks about Straussians a lot, and while I knew who Leo Strauss was, I did not have a sense of what his main ideas were such that things could be labeled Straussian.
