Harry Hopkins writing for TCW (previously "The Conservative Woman" - at least TCW is shorter) tells it as he sees it. It's not a fashionable viewpoint, but one suspects that if TCW is featuring his work then it's not too far from becoming a widely accepted viewpoint. Maybe even eventually a dominant viewpoint.
One of the difficulties which this viewpoint faces in becoming more widespread is that, at first acquaintance, it seems too scary to contemplate. Perhaps not because we are actually frightened of it, but certainly because its implications appear so wide-ranging that we are not immediately prepared to consider turning our world-view upside down to accommodate it. At least not just yet ...
But problems that are not going to go away of their own accord must be faced down eventually, preferably before they become overwhelming. The earlier measures are taken to counteract it, to contain it, the easier it will ultimately be to deal with it.
So relax, make yourself a nice cup of <insert chosen comfort beverage here> and read what he has to say. Then remember, you are not alone - almost everyone is with you in this. It might take a while, but together, we can see it off. And remember, in WW4 there are no trenches and no conscription - just citizens of like mind and unbending determination in verbal ethical legal and political combat to hand down a better world to our children.
What higher cause than this?
Accept the challenge. Join the throng.
