Two factors contribute to uneasiness. One is that conservatives, even now, seem to be engaged in playing to the far-right base and further solidifying support for radical policies, despite the apparent impossiblilty of winning elections thereby in the foreseeable future. The other is that an all-volunteer military consists increasingly of "Christians" who identify with the far right in the civilian population. A right wing that can't win elections isn't necessarily a right wing that can't win.

It scares me. Perhaps because I can't understand where such rampant hate comes from. I sure hope you are right, Anne, about the far right wing being a small and dwindling demographic. It scares me.
