      Why was America’s center-right/conservative party so ripe/vulnerable to takeover/being made into a cult? This isn’t a provocation. It’s a real question. I have my own take on it. But I’m genuinely interested in yours.https://twitter.com/radiofreetom/status/1013196931642818561 …

      When you lead a cult that has will, on order, disregard what you said an hour earlier, you can do stuff like this and people will think it's CNN's fault for reporting it. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1013143151501021185 …

      American conservatism in its modern form (McCarthy/Buckley/Goldwater/Reagan) defined itself against intellectual elites (Harvard eggheads, elitists etc) which led to movement vulnerable to shit like supply side economics, creationism, climate denial & Trumpism.

          The embrace of evangelical Christianity, begun by Nixon with his embrace of Billy Graham and accelerated under Reagan, contributed. See @C_Stroop for the authoritarian tendencies of that movement.

          The evangelicalism of the far right wacko Repukes, embraces the heresy of the dominionist false preaching of pseudo Christians like Paula White. Billy wouldn’t even recognize this mind twisting dominionist crap the Orthodox Church considers heresy. Cultism has taken over the RWNJ

          Or maybe they liked the latter, so they defined themselves in terms of the former to get it.

          Compare infant morality & life expectancy in the United States with Japan or North European social democracies.

          Funny, because Buckley was the very definition of Ivy League elite. I'm currently reading BEFORE THE STORM by @rickperlstein, and there were a lot more of them in the Conservative movement besides Buckley.

          I respect an Edmund Burke/Jeffersonian conservatism. Their anger at Trump is as real as ours. Reactionary bile is in control. The conservative intellectuals know what's being destroyed: the liberal postwar world order. And they have allegiance to that, too. Trump does not.

          It was the self cloistering more than anything. “Don’t trust outsiders” is the first tenet of every cult.
