Great review by @sullydish of Edmund Fawcett's book on conservatism. "The survival of a moderate conservatism, a conservatism that accepts and is comfortable with modernity and liberal democracy, is indispensable to the stability of our polity as a whole." https://t.co/kOTXGfdHpJ

Great article. It illuminates quite a bit. I was telling my family pontificating about 'containment failure'.

Dems have an ideological radioactive leak. Republicans have a nuclear explosion. Both are bad, one right now is worse.

This filled in the idea nicely.

John Podhoretz approves of many of Trump's policies. But his conclusion is tough and right:"Trump has crossed the final line. He is a tinpot Banana Republic gangster, a sordid loser, a disgrace, and a fraud, and a crook. There is no other hand."https://t.co/Hw74cEjTR7

thread:

The way to get young people interested in fiscal conservatism is by running the economy so hot that inflation and higher interest rates are an economic problem. So big deficit-financed spending is actually in the long-term interests of fiscal conservatives.
