Is there hope for fewer alliances between mainstream conservatives and the Radical Right?

Jorge Alemán takes a (somewhat) hopeful lesson from recents setbacks of the far-right party VOX in Spain to suggest that the noeliberal project more generally is in a moment of crisis. (¿Qué pasa con el odio de las ultraderechas? Pagina/12 22.10.2020):

Hasta ahora las derechas clásicas habían sido ganadas por la extensión del rechazo de la política propio del discurso de las ultraderechas, pero ahora la dominación neoliberal duda sobre si ese es definitiva su camino.

Los teóricos afines al neoliberalismo saben la religión del Mercado no puede sostenerse en el odio, debe encontrar formas más seductoras para sus consumidores. No obstante, por ahora no pueden, temen como siempre el ascenso de fuerzas democráticas y progresistas que ya comienzan a retornar.

[So far, the classical right [center-right conservative] has been winning by continuing their rejection of the politics proper to the discourse of the far-right, but now neoliberal domination has doubts about whether that is definitely the direction they want to take.

Theorists aligned with neoliberalism know the religion of the market cannot be sustained by hatred, that they must find more seductive forms of politics for their consumers. Nevertheless, for now they cannot, fearing as always the rise of democratic and progressive forces that are already beginning to return.]

He is basing his larger observation also on the apparent rejection of Trump in this year's eletion in the US and on Angela Merkel's refusal to make common cause with the far right in Germany. The implication is that because the far right altervatives have an alternative form of politics that supports the established economic order but not the liberal political order. So allying with the far-right remains a chronic temptation for the conservatives parties.

Alemán argues that not only will Trump lose, but also "un estilo político primario con bases megalómanas y paranoicas que solo se afirman en el odio" [a primary political style with megalomaniacal and paranoid bases that are only affirmed in hatred.}

Americans opposed to Trump are at the moment in a don't-count-your-chickens-before-they-are-hatched mode about the Presidentioal election. It's not over until the election and the post-election challenges are finished and Joe Biden is sworn in as President.

But at least in the US political context, Alemán is more confident that I that the defeat of Trump will also mean the end of Trumpism. Not after the Republicans Party backed Trump so enthusiastically for four years, the NeverTrumpers at the Lincoln Project notwithstanding. The prospect of the Republican Party remaking itself in the mode of, say, the Eisenhower Administration is virtually unthinkable at this point. Radical right ideology will continue to drive the Republican Party. And thare is little pospect that "the fever will break," as establishment Democrats endlessly hope.
