29. This is result of a well financed propaganda campaign being broadcast 24/7.

The ability to mine the hatred and prejudices of those who can be easily convinced that minorities are the cause of their all their woes has been masterly exploited by the extreme right wing. It went into fully attack mode following Nixon when Reagan took up the Southern Strategy with his "welfare queens driving Cadillacs" remarks. The Republican Party has chosen the path of fascism to gain power and has doggedly pursued this course for over forty years. What is happening is nothing new, just a culmination of their policies.

Their campaign to identify all Democrats as immoral, unpatriotic heathens has been even more successful then they could have imagined. It will take a generation to convince these useful idiots that they have been exploited. Meanwhile millions of innocent people will suffer, many of whom are the instruments of their own destruction. You have to admire the Republicans. They have never wavered from their goal by allowing any compassion to compromise their determination. Compassion is for the weak.

They have masterfully conned the righteous right that they represent their theocratic ideals, along with convincing many of the working class that unions were their enemy enlisting them in so-called "right to work laws" that impoverished them. They have accomplished a major feat in successfully dividing the nation into two camps effectively totally destroying the basic concept upon which the nation was founded. E pluribus Unum - Out of many one. The Federalist Papers tell of how the Founding Father were well aware that divisions would always exist but strove to find a principle that would serve to hold the nation to a guiding principle of unity based on the acceptance of different opinions. The Republicans have forsaken this concept to cast anyone who opposes their agenda as enemies and not real Americans. Nothing could be further from the truth of the matter, but the die is cast. They are determined to achieve total capitulation. Any question of their policies are not logically debated or allowed to be questioned, but rather summerly condemn as lies without any merit. Some could say that the Democrats are as determined as the Republicans and share equally in the responsibility for this situation. This is nothing more than false equivalency and proven to be wholly inaccurate. Radio broadcasting is dominated by the ultraconservatives by a ratio of 2500 hours to 250 of progressive broadcast. Good Luck Citizens.
