@NPinkoski @Jeff__Steele @unherd How deep is the culture of free speech in France? I don’t associate it with the Old Regime or Revolution

@davidhazony By definition conservatism is particular in practice. It’s not love of tradition for its own sake. It necessarily entails love/ respect for one’s own tradition

Adams to Rush 1807. GOP prudence has often been of the “rascally” sort. Mere spiritedness also tends not to work out.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

For almost my entire adult life I've heard elements of the GOP base blame failure on not being tough or aggressive enough. In the first two years of the second Trump term, they got all the aggression they could ever want, and the party got crushed at a level we haven't seen in more than 50 years.

So what happens next? With Stephen Miller and Jim Jordan, they double down on aggression. Nothing about those picks suggests the slightest sense that the MAGA base understands or even cares about what actually happened.

@jawillick @Heminator They’ll blame Trump, the GOP, and greed.

@DamonLinker @MichaelMcGough3 You seemed to be saying that it’s merely a recent issue, and not the logical and predictable result of a centuries long effort. I misread the context of your comment

“Nine out of ten students at the University of Michigan and Northwestern admit to researchers that they lie in their papers and pretend to be more progressive than they really are in order to get a better grade.”

[Aaron Gwyn @AmericanGwyn]

Still thinking about this note Cormac McCarthy made in his private journal that my fiancée and I stumbled on last year in the Wittliff Collections: “The moral clarity of the English-speaking people has been a thousand years perfecting. It is a pointless task to imagine such a struggle taking markedly less time than this in some other culture. The notion that we are all as one is nonsense.”
