Helpful in understanding the mindset of conservatives.
I am so ready and even willing to hear a well-reasoned and data-driven counter argument, but in today's reality, those who identify as 'conservative' would cause William F. Buckley, Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater to puke. Where are the conservative intellectuals? What happened to the GOP, the party of Abraham Lincoln? And where is the Conservative moral high ground now?
Conservative columnist George Will is right, from Trump to his lapdog supporters in Congress, all have abdicated their right to remain in office, even if it means a Democratically controlled House, Senate and White House. And Trump is, as our European friends immediately recognized with their blimp, little more than a big baby, and in fact, much more dangerous!
“This unraveling presidency began with the Crybaby-in-Chief banging his spoon on his highchair tray to protest a photograph — a photograph — showing that his inauguration crowd the day before had been smaller than the one four years previous."

@TheInterlooper As an intellectual beacon, Sowell leaves much to be desired.
A good talk. I have read "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion" -- a very good read.
It is a good book, however nobody should infer that because Conservatives appear to have 3 additional moral values over Liberals that they (Conservatives) are somehow more complex or nuanced in their morality.
