I agree, I came to realize that Conservatism is an exercise few in the population can fully grasp since it required thought and conviction. But in an age of reality TV and low information voter, the ability for citizens to recognize it and more importantly exercise it is unfortunately slipping further and further away. Trump has become the new mantra in politics: a man devoid of conviction, capable of furthering his political ambitions through sloganeering and bumper sticker policies that a 4th grader can appreciate, guided only by his own sense of self-importance. Bref a man so immersed in his own banality and ego that people are awed by the celebrity and not the character of the man. Like you so aptly put it, "We are doomed by the plurality of morons" .
I sincerely wished I was born in another era.
Amazing isn’t it?
I could not have dreamed it in my worst nightmare.
Hate to criticize but you may have the answer when you said:
“We are doomed by the plurality of morons.”
