It’s as if the only remaining value on the political right is poor impulse control.
As a leftie I can just about appreciate a classic right winger with a deep rooted belief in fiscal responsibility who advocates a measured approach to reform and progress. I don’t agree, but at least they make an interesting contribution to public debate. However, I would wager that today such old school conservatives make up no more 15% of the political right. The rest are just unhinged individualists, “Compassion and morals are for suckers. Nobody gets to tell me what is right or wrong!”
