This all kind of started back with the Tea Party when republicans turned into the Anti party. Against anything that seemed mainstream. The party of No. The party of complaining. With Newt Gingrich it took off. They melded conspiracy theories and religion and anti-establishment under the conservative banner. If you don’t like Jews, your in. You don’t like abortion, you too! And so on. Trump smelling money decided to crash the party and turn it into a cult. Normally we’d just dismiss this nonsense and carry on but this is how fascism always starts in a country. Straight out of The Fascist Playbook. They have no plan they just want to line their pockets with money and be in control. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/10-small-steps-executing-the-fascist-playbook_b_585dfec2e4b04d7df167cfab
