Front Porch Republic is a localist American blog where various contributors emphasize the importance of concepts such as limits and community. These contributors—known as 'porchers'—have diverse opinions, but generally agree that centralization, atomization, and disregard for limits represent obstacles to human flourishing.[1]
Damon Linker at The Week describes Front Porch Republic:
- Unlike the leaders of the mainstream conservative movement, Patrick Deneen, Mark T. Mitchell, Russell Arben Fox, Jeremy Beer, and the other "Porchers" have little interest in engaging with inside-the-Beltway power politics. Instead, they prefer to act as gadflies, denouncing the imperial ethos and influence-peddling that dominates Washington, as well as the boundless greed that drives would-be Masters of the Universe from around the country to seek their fortunes on Wall Street and in Hollywood and Silicon Valley.[2]
