The Conservative movement needs to do some serious soul searching to figure out how to attract these kinds of people. It at least needs to defend itself and go on the attack.
There are millions of brilliant and talented people in this country. Collectivist billionaires and CEOs and Corporate Boards only choose to elevate the collectivist geniuses. But they do not define the limits of genius, neither in number nor talent. They just place their lives in the complete control of the collective, and are happy doing it. All the other talent is left to rot. Accepting this state of affairs, supporting it and dedicating ones professional life to it, is what the world calls "smart."
And look at the state of the world today - it's the direct result of the efforts of all these "smart" people.
Bullsh%t. These guys are not evil Liberal masterminds. They choose side side with Liberalism. They want to be on the Liberal team.
Why is that?
How has the Conservative movement so massively lost so many talented people, with no hope to ever get them???
That's what our "leaders" need to ponder. I have a few theories, but I doubt anybody would listen.
