but once they were defanged, the Rs had to move on. Reagan offered "welfare queens" and "liberals" as a substitute. They added "terrorists" to the arsenal after 9/11.

The R side of politics has been us vs them for at least a century, at least since the end of the Roosevelt (teddy) admin.

It is bred in them down to the bone. It will always be us vs them, the only question is just who "them" will be from time to time.
