Why did he stop supporting the American conservative movement?

  • Disaffected with Republican Party's rightward shift

  • Lost interest

  • Couldn't keep up with the pace

  • Shifted focus to blogging

Answer

He stopped supporting the American conservative movement because he was disaffected with the Republican Party's rightward shift. He felt that the party was no longer representing the interests of the working class and was instead pandering to the wealthy and powerful. He also felt that the party was becoming increasingly intolerant of dissent and was not open to new ideas.
