And if my place according to the great institutions is at the bottom, you bet I won’t be “satisfied” or consider them that great or worth “conserving.”

THAT as I’ve said before is a key basis of American “Conservatism”: that everyone must _know their place, and stay in their place,_ and that this is ordained by either God or Nature, that if you don’t rise above it is just because you haven’t “merited” it, and this order must be conserved.

Good to see the talking-point generator has evolved to the point it admits that on-script.
