For as long as I can remember, the percentage of Americans who endorse or promote the dogma of the reactionary right has been a fairly consistent 25%. And one of their central themes is "reaction" against the 'dilution' of an ethnically pure, White, Christian, America that never existed. Their level of visibility and influence on political dynamics rises and falls, but they have been "out there," ready to be tapped, for a very, very, long time.
