Absolutely_idiotic - The Monday Morning Memo

“

I’m always interested in a good conversion story.

Whittaker Chambers found God by studying his baby’s ear.

My friend Catherine Bly Cox (AKA much better half of Charles), had a somewhat similar epiphany. When her first child, Anna, was born, Cathy realized that she ‘loved her more than evolution required.’

Former communist David Horowitz famously realized that he was on the wrong team when he became convinced that the Black Panthers murdered his friend Betty Van Patter.

Cat Stevens became a Muslim because God saved him from drowning.

I’ve been looking for a similar Damascene moment for J.D. Vance, who once believed that Donald Trump was ‘cultural heroin’ and possibly ‘America’s Hitler,’ for his remarkable conversion to Trumpism.
