America has a bomb sitting in its lap. There are tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, of Americans who hold beliefs so crazy that they likely would have been grounds for hospitalization in the past. The things people will support are objectively depraved: jailing people for self-defense, providing irreversible pseudoscientific surgeries to mentally-ill children, letting criminals steal with impunity, allowing tens of millions of people to illegally immigrate for the express purpose of politically transforming the US. What’s more, they are passionate about this support. It is not cynical or financially motivated for the overwhelming majority. Rather, it taps into their deepest feelings, messages that they’ve heard for years and even decades. Conservatives, even if they understand the issues facing the country, generally do not seem to grasp the size of this bomb and what it means for resolving political problems today.
