The decline of the Republican Party | Ship of fools | The Economist

The decline of the Republican Party | Ship of fools | The Economist: "JOHN STUART MILL once dismissed the British Conservative Party as the stupid party. Today the Conservative Party is run by Oxford-educated high-fliers who have been busy reinventing conservatism for a new era. As Lexington sees it, the title of the “stupid party” now belongs to the Tories’ transatlantic cousins, the Republicans."

"Republicanism’s anti-intellectual turn is devastating for its future."
