Ik haal de antwoorden van Ross Douthat uit dit artikel, omdat ik ze de moeite waard vond. 🙂

How seriously should we take Donald Trump’s candidacy?
As seriously as a spring tempest. As seriously as a summer forest fire. As seriously as the north wind shaking the barren trees on the last day of autumn. As seriously as the winter wind, blowing in the same bare place, with the nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

What matters most about him as a presidential candidate?
 That his second term was foretold in the Necronomicon, written in eldritch script on the Mountains of Madness and carved deep, deep into the white stones of the Plateau of Leng.

What do you find most inspiring — or unsettling — about his vision for America?
I believe that before the sixth seal is opened, the sun becomes black as sackcloth and the moon becomes of blood, he will deliver more winning than we have ever seen, and I look forward to it.

Imagine you’re a G.O.P. operative or campaign manager. What’s your elevator pitch for a Trump candidacy?
Some day the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice. MAGA!
