Why Republicans are scared of everything and everyone right now

7. Free market

Conservatives are scared of the changing world for three primary reasons:
1. Fox News was able to convince them that they were being lied to. They were scared off this changing world in the mid-90's as Fox News launched - the Cold War, the staple of their entire life, had ended just a few years before. They were so comforted that anything Fox News told them had to be true. They now we're susceptible to any lie their trusted friend told them. Talk radio was still powerful at the time so the battlefield was prepped. And in HOT CHICKS (always works) and splashy graphics and the repetition of words washes away reality. Fox News is basically a strip club.

2. Old people get scared and that fear is why they are a standard target of scams.

3. Due to Fox News's dominance in the market (due to the lack of the Fairness Doctrine) all the TV media follows Fox down rabbit holes. To many Americans there is no outside world other than DANGER! and socialism failures.
