"The libertarians interviewed by Robert Draper talk about their movement’s exciting, bold ideological vision. Yet the true secret to its post-2008 appeal is just the opposite. Those conservatives who succumb to libertarianism do so in despair, not hope. Instead of competing to govern the state, many now feel that their only hope is defend themselves — with arms if necessary — against an inherently and inevitably hostile and predatory state. Conservatives who still want to compete, win, and govern must trust that this despair will pass. The 'libertarian moment' will last as long as, and no longer than, it takes conservatives to win a presidential election again." David Frum in The Atlantic
