QOTD: Michael Gerson

QOTD: Michael Gerson

Former Bush speechwriter:


Roy Mooreism was distilled Trumpism, flavored with some self-righteous moralism. It was all there: the aggressive ignorance, the racial divisiveness, the disdain for governing, the contempt for truth, the accusations of sexual predation, the (just remarkable) trashing of America in favor of Vladimir Putin, the conspiracy theories, the sheer, destabilizing craziness of the average day.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that describes your average member of the Fox viewing  GOP base. Those are your people, Gerson. How do you suppose that happened?
