"I feel like the biggest success of movement conservatism since Nixon/Reagan wasn't the rise of the right, it was killing the left. Nowadays, even among people who are furious at Wall Street, Republicans and the rest of the system, there are plenty who are equally disillusioned with or suspicious of the federal government, organized labor, et al - people who don't buy the idea of 'trickle down' or 'conservatism will make us all rich,' but also don't think there's much the government or unions can do about it, and they'll probably just make it worse if they try. There's Movement Conservatism By True Faith, and then there's Movement Conservatism By Resignation." -- commenter Chris at Balloon Juice, 2014-10-17 (thanks to [info] realinterrobang for quoting this earlier)
