(13,466 posts)People go to the same churches their parents and grandparents went to, somewhere along the line the Republican Party took over many of these churches via the "moral majority". It isn't official, but it might as well be. So the preachers go along with the moral majority, Jerry Falwell agenda and it starts morphing into an "us" against "them". Here comes right wing radio paying into this and the Fox News and the lines are drawn without the people doing anything different than attending the churches of their ancestors, the churches they were raised in. The pressure to fear the "other" is all around them in their church home, in their community. They feel the fear before they ever recognize what is happening, by now a whole generation has been raised with it.
