A back patio at dusk. Aaron:You keep saying conservatives use logic as well as progressives. But I don’t see it. Conservatives are the continual capitulation to raw desire. Trump wants to make America great again by doing away with due process, targeting transgenders, by going after free speech on campus, by sending the military out to physically control dissent. Fine, make America great again, but don’t call that America any longer. Conservatives don’t contain desire—they canonize it. They bow to custom, to appetite, to inherited emotion—and call it moral order. They always have!
