Frum's entire article is well worth reading, an excellent piece. I was looking for one or two good paragraphs to excerpt, but there are so many excellent ones, it was impossible to choose. Read the whole thing. The Seven Broken Guardrails of Democracy The American republic was long safeguarded by settled norms, now shattered by the rise of Donald Trump.

>>Could it happen to liberals and Democrats next time?<< I don't think so. The (D)'s suck, but the (R)'s have locked down the truly ignorant and stupid voters. Trump is the proof. They've whined about how they lost with McCain and Romney because they didn't have a REAL conservative running, and now they put up Trump, nowhere NEAR a 'real' conservative!? I think it's because they've secretly been longing for a fascist strongman, but never realized it before Trump.
