A perennial problem. I'd just like to note a few other examples, however small in comparison with the libs, of conservative-friendly culture being nurtured, particularly by Catholics (who are of course not necessarily on the Right).
Trump's order on classical architecture is obviously consequential. Journals like the Claremont Review and the New Criterion praise good work where it exists. Conservative or at least unwoke music criticism comes from City Journal (Heather Mac Donald) and Substack (Don Baton). And it seems that once traditionally- or conservatively-minded creators achieve a certain degree of success, say in music (James MacMillan), sculpture (Sabin Howard or Alexander Stoddart), or architecture (Duncan Stroik), there are commissions there for them.
It seems that the philistinism of the "Right Wing Progressives" is a big problem because they are so wealthy and powerful, by comparison to the cultured, but economically marginal, tweedy trads.
