General Discussion

From birth to reject reality and think that their beliefs are as good as facts.

It wouldn't have happened without decades of right-wing indoctrination that all liberals are Communists and evil. That started in the early decades of the 20th century, but really ramped up in the McCarthy years. It carried right on through the Cold War and Civil Rights era...

Straight into reagan the traitor filth openly demonizing liberals and brown people while sucking up to religious bigots...

On to Newt bringing scorched earth politics to the federal government alongside the rise of hate radio...

The birth of that propaganda network known as Fox making their bones on the BS Whitewater nonsense--but don't forget how their material almost exclusively came from "traditional" media traitors like the NYT...

Onward to the 9/11 scaredy cats and our traitor media screeching about anti-Iraq war people being traitors for being right about invading that country as a stupid, stupid idea...

Then straight on to the Tea Partiers who'd lost their minds over a black man as president.

TFG and the MAGAts are only the logical extension of all of that.

Anyone with a brain could have seen them coming.
