The RW loves to hate the Clintons, but I think they wouldn't have been able to solidify their base with hatred of a fellow white person, as they were with Obama.
Reagan had the charisma to sell the stupidity like nobody else, until Trump. Personally I don't think Trump has any charisma, but he's able to appeal to simpletons.
That asshole who yelled "you lie" is Joe Wilson from SC. I've never seen the rednecks in SC so riled up when Obama was in the WH. I think that's when they realized the world was changing, and they didn't like it.
Being the oldest constitutional democracy in the world has been nice and allLike we say in the software biz, always wait for the revision before you install anything. The initial release is full of major bugs.
Do you want Timothy McVeighs? Because this is how you get Timothy McVeighs.
Just a loon with a headful of broken wires and sparking PCBs, until the firehose of right wing garbage talk about the wicked federal government sent him over the edge and he killed a whole bunch of innocent people.
Switch out the cheap lies about federal government with cheap lies about the media and the song remains the same. And it's still a dirge.
Wait, what has poor Evo Morales in Bolivia done recently? There is a fine line to walk where in some countries the news media ARE out to get governments, and when governments push back even slightly it's all "UR JUST LIKE TRUMP AND PUTIN".
Imagine if EVERY TV station were Fox News and every paper was the WSJ, and your left-wing hero (Gillibrand? Harris? Sanders? H. Clinton? other?) were in power. What would you want them to do? Bring back the Fairness Doctrine? Would that be "anti-free speech"?
I actually think the RW would have freaked out more over Hillary. I suspect their sexism is actually deeper and more important to them than their racism.
I too often caught myself wishing Hinckley had a bigger gun. But I don't think it would have mattered; Reagan was the product of the process, not the cause.
Vote Wilson out in 2 months and 17 days, S.C.!
