@NGrossman81 @DamonLinker My sense is that even the small sane/moderate set of conservatives realized they need a conspiracy and victimhood narrative to animate their ideas, as hard-edged partisans have. It’s more benign than those others, and easily nutpicked, but it’s cut from the same kooky cloth.

@NGrossman81 @DamonLinker Where it tells on itself is in outcomes. While masquerading as some sort of common-sense Everyman who just wants sanity, the outcome is always that the powerless must be punished-students, lowly employees, the public outside the ivory tower at issue—never anyone with power.
