it's often funny to note the gap that separates those who Believe and how the right operates organizationally. it appears that, from the organizational viewpoint, conservative ideology is a simple field of memes to be manipulated. in this case, it functions as the scrim for the theater of the donald.
after the bush period, it was the backdrop for the right's flight away from itself and into astroturf, an orchestrated remaking based on a "popular movement" that may have at some point been one, but which is, clearly, at this point regarded as having outlived its utility---once a tactical advantage, now a strategic liability.
i find it interesting that this theater can happen again and again without engendering crises of faith amongst believers.
