Over at American Greatness, the Trumpist website, there's an article on "The Flight 93" election that makes the case that, hey, the world's going to hell anyway, so why not vote Trump?
One paragraph stood out to me. I've broken it down to consider it more fully.
"If
conservatives are right about the importance of virtue, morality,
religious faith, stability, character and so on in the individual; "
Trump is your man?
"if they are right about sexual morality or what came to be termed “family values”;"
Trump is your man?
"if
they are right about the importance of education to inculcate good
character and to teach the fundamentals that have defined knowledge in
the West for millennia;"
Trump is your man?
"
if they are right about societal norms and public order; if they are
right about the centrality of initiative, enterprise, industry, and
thrift to a sound economy and a healthy society; "
Thrift? TRUMP is your man?f
Norms? Trump is your man?
"if
they are right about the soul-sapping effects of paternalistic Big
Government and its cannibalization of civil society and religious
institutions;"
Trump is your man?
"if they are right about the necessity of a strong defense and prudent statesmanship in the international sphere"
TRUMP is your man?
"—if
they are right about the importance of all this to national health and
even survival, then they must believe—mustn’t they?—that we are headed
off a cliff."
Oh, then it makes sense then. Trump is your man.
