I would call it a party going downhill, not a rise

Limbaugh is the Father of the Alternate Universe.

"Don't listen to them. Just listen to me. Don't trust them. Just trust me."

And sure as hell, they did. Then the copycats came in, and the flock believed them, too.

Wow. What a vapid whining premise for a bullshit thread.

So Limbaugh never said a thing that was true? Has our government done anything that instills trust lately? Your alternative universe crap is just another hack fail.

Limbaugh came in doing a routine. Trolling Liberals for fun and profit.

Then he realized his idiot listeners were taking him seriously

I would suggest that Trump stands separately from all the rest that you're suggesting in the topic title. Especially Gingrich who could be seen as a further right conservative voice that was acceptable in US domestic politics.

So it does appear that Trump is finished and all that's left is the question of how much damage he can do on his way out.

Will he still have the influence and power to call his militant supporters to violence on the streets with their guns?

And if so, will the government have the courage to move against him with measures suited to a leader of a revolution?

Trump has ceased being an influence in US politics in the eyes of the rest of the world and is now only entertainment value. He almost certainlly won't disappoint.

In essence, the rise of the neo-fascist right in the US.

This thread is good. We need to understand that what has happened to the Republican Party is not just Trump.

This was years in the making

No one said they were.

But they’re not fascists, they haven’t attempted to overthrow an election, and they’re not racists and bigots.

Democrat-led American demise led to the advent of a very necessary non-democrat response.
Fixed it for you.

Rush was popular before the Newt.

Spot on.

Beginning with the Southern Strategy, the unholy alliance with the Christo-fascist right, and the tolerance of racists and bigots in the late 60s and early 70s.

Wow. What a vapid whining premise for a bullshit thread.

It’s an accurate and factual review of the right of the neo-fascist right.

No, Trump was something different. He was a promise of breaking the cycle of income inequality in America, and that attracted poor people that became his base of support.

But the income inequality has only become worse!

Trump couldn't deliver because of his loyalty to those who hold the wealth in America. Now his only drawing card is racism, in that his claim has to be based on people of colour being the reason for the ripoff of the working class.

Racism in America is due to hit new heights as Trump makes his final dying bids to hold onto power.

It could get much worse than any American expects as revenge is taken out on non-whites!

It actually started with Regan and Bush I
