Mitt Romney is admired by many for his personal character and public service, yet his political journey showcases a growing divide in American values, especially between traditional institutional norms and the anti-institutional MAGA movement.
As articulated by Noah Millman, Trump's rise signifies a shift towards an anti-institutional mindset, contrasting starkly with those who value civic virtues and institutional stewardship.
Within the MAGA viewpoint, individuals seen as admirable by traditionalists, like Romney, are often viewed as morally disgraceful, revealing a deep divide in understanding character and integrity.
The crucial distinction underscores that the MAGA supporters reject traditional institutional frameworks, which we believe shape character and contribute to a healthy society.
