The thing about an apocalyptic cult is that they get tired of waiting.

Republicans started this cult after their Goldwater loss of 1964. Who actually warned about letting fanatics into their politics.

But they needed the votes, and the enthusiasm.

Rick Perlstein's books bring this story to life for me.

When waiting for action becomes tiresome, wouldn’t taking action becomes more likely?
