The ultimate conservative idea is Americans can be made to vote against its own interest in favor of the interests of a a skillfiul exploiting minority who plays up their insecurity, false pride, and desire for shallow flattery.
In the present circumstances their idea is certainly proven up to a fraction bordering on majority. To cinch their case completely they only need to push the fraction from "almost majority" over an almost imperceptible hurdle to outright majority.
One might have hoped that major economic disturbance would be sufficient stimulus for large fraction of Americans to more seriously and rigorously examine their own collective interests see through the efforts to exploit them through their own insecurity, false price and lust for flattery. But hitherto that has not proven to be the case.
