I would say it was all republicans for the last 50 years that's got us to this very bad place.
yep. Institutionalized racism, misogyny, homophobia, and white Christian separatism as party platform. No matter how "conservative" Republicans claimed to be, The Southern Strategy was the core value and singular driving force for the past 60 years. MAGA isn't a symptom, it's result
Why else was/is GOP leadership shitting themselves over immigration? The "other" is always an easy target to get the morons onboard, but even more so, they didn't want to see demographic change. Their whole platform relied on it.
It was the story they told to get the morons out to the polls for them. The morons were never supposed to take controlled and yet they did, first with the tea party and then with trump
Go back further. First the Moral Majority in 1979.
right, but the elite still controlled things. the dumb rubers were meant to fall for it and vote for the tax cutters. but then the dumb rubes primaried too many republicans and the inmates now run the asylum.
Only going back to the 70s? Shit, I'd place it at the feet of the OG McCarthy from the 50s
