re: #152 Obdicut

You kind of seem to be fatalist about it, like, the GOP couldn’t possibly have gone in any direction but this one.

I just said nothing is inevitable, including where the current conservative movement has landed itself.

But yes, they have been on this trajectory since the 1960s. There are reasons to never have been surprised at the state of today’s conservative movement, especially if you’ve been their targets for a generation and cannot afford to be naive about it.

You may not think they are good reasons; that’s fine with me.
