“Many have observed that conservativism's nostalgia for "simpler times" is really a yearning for childhood: the reason life was simpler when you were a child isn't because times were simpler - it's because you were a child, sheltered from life's complexities by your parents.

Hence conservativism's daddy issues, its yearning for strongmen who'll make the nation great through discipline, ordering and control.”
