Remember a Senator named McCarthy? Dick Nixon didn't get to be President only by votes from friends. Neither did Ray-gun. Barry Goldwater had a considerable bit of power, too, so I'd have to disagree with you. They've been building that brand and it's led to exactly what Democrats have always feared it would lead to.

they did exist they were just more careful about showing it in public

and these ppl are hurt and scared and it has been getting worse ....they are dissatisfied and broken one job can no longer support a household with kids like it did when I was a kid now both parents have to work and even that isn't enough

@rainmanjr No I agree with YOU. The rich/corporations have been building toward overthrowing the New Deal and the Great Society all along. A big victory was getting rid of the Fairness Doctrine in the 80s, allowing right-wing hate radio to explode onto the scene...Rush Limbaugh et. al. It has twisted the brains of millions. Once twisted, the ground was then fertile for growing the bastard weeds we are seeing now choking the entire garden.
So to speak.

@Storm1752 Exactly. It’s important to connect this stuff or people forget this is long term strategy.

me too .... I think he can be a real asshole but he does know his stuff and he cares more about the country and truth than being a republican and that I admire
we need to stand up for what we believe and not worry about a party or a presidents temper tantrums and we have so much to fix ...I digress
he can also be very funny
