As we near the November 3rd 'day of reckoning'*, the predictions of talk show hosts and politicians of what will happen should President of the United States of America lose the election become, it seems, more and more extreme.
There's an interesting quote from Mr. David Frum dating back to 2017. He stated, "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.' The subtext, once one gets past the initial rhetoric, is how firmly modern conservatism is based upon actual evidence and how much is a matter of ideological faith.
Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.
* The oblique reference to the evangelism of the late Rev. William Graham is intended.
