      Conservatism's ability to be both victor and victim will never cease to amaze.

      It's more than an ability, it's the essence. Conservatism is the privileged working themselves up to a lather about how they are victims in order to bolster their privileged status. Burke's lament for Maria Antoinette is the classic example.

          it's basically the whole story of the New Testament! We will be persecuted while simultaneously prevailing.

          Indeed. And it’s brilliantly illuminating. Would that he understood how dangerous conservatives remain even in what might be a very long period of “decline.”

          Given the nature of the charges for which Marie Antoinette was actually convicted, it's a fair lather.

          But remember Paine's retort: Burke "pities the plumage, but forgets the dying bird."

          Of course, eventually Antoinette was beheaded. That does seem to me a significant difference between France in 18th century and the right in the US today.

          That bubble also tends to make them think fascism is a monster they can control.
