'The druids of the Disc...like druids everywhere, they believed in the essential unity of all life, the healing power of plants, the natural rhythm of the seasons, and the burning alive of anyone who didn't approach all this in the right frame of mind.' - Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic

Quote:“We are in a post-constitutionalist moment,” Vought wrote in 2022, “a new regime” that “pays only lip service to the old Constitution.” To fight liberal deviationism, conservatives must become “radical constitutionalists” (italics his). Where others on the right say government took a wrong turn during the New Deal or during the Progressive Era, Vought says “The Right needs to throw off the precedents and legal paradigms that have wrongly developed over the last two hundred years” (italics mine). If the slogan “Make America Great Again” raises the question, “When was that?” Vought’s answer would appear be 1825. It all went to hell after we opened the Erie Canal.

It comes from the time when timber framed, thatched houses would burn VERY quickly. The idiom refers to something that happens with similar speed.
