Bourdain was swaggering and manly, but also driven by empathy, self-reflection, and the humility to learn from other people and cultures. His was a better, more decent sort of manhood.nytimes.comThe Gospel According to Anthony BourdainFans of the late writer and chef are cultlike in their devotion.

![The present-day Republican Party is primarily right-wing populist and neo-nationalist with smaller conservative, Christian right, and libertarian factions, all of which have greatly diminished in influence since 2016. Its ideology has since largely shifted towards illiberalism, favoring strong presidential power[38][39] and a statist government to enforce conservative cultural values. [40] This includes broad opposition to abortion, LGBT rights, immigration, and gun control. On economic policy, it supports mercantilism while opposing labor unions. During the 20th and early 21st centuries, it cooperated internationally with conservative parties. Since the 2020s it has aligned with global far-right parties, [41][421[43] and white nationalist beliefs have become influential within the party, [44 including support for remigration.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ekf57g6zunozoe3l72e56qhf/bafkreicle4xnfrm42myzhrbcno23xiwujyurldn5ewediyi7wiqcwv6axe)
