Sounds like you encountered one earnest type?
I tried to think of contemporary examples but I couldn’t think of any that would be universally admired. That got me thinking about the meaning of “earnestness” and then I wondered whether I might have conflated it with “virtuous” too much in my own conception.
I suppose it’s just as possible to be earnestly libertarian as it is to be earnestly egalitarian.
There might be as many earnest members of the NRA as there are earnest members of the NAACP and the ACLU.
Fact checking aside, who do you think is more earnest, 45 or 44?
43 or 42?
