In reply to the discussion: Frank Schaeffer: The siege mentality among evangelical Christians has led to self-induced dementia. [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)29. yes. many trolls blame clinton and the tel com act, but it came in 1996, like fox
ater 9 years of blasting the country with bullshit about "liberal media", deregulation will lower cable costs, corporations are people, money is free speech, etc, and with a republican congress that made limbaugh an honorary member in recognition of his part, it was easy to pass it, push clinton into not vetoing it, and making the fox lies acceptable.
the only silver lining is that reagan basically destroyed the republican party with trump. but we're going with him if the dems and left keep ignoring rw radio.
unfortunately the dem party can't even poll for talk radio and instead they blame 'evangelicals' or white economic anxiety..... and media do the same.

It didn't start with saving "babies". It started with keeping blacks out of schools and churches.

The anti-abortion whack job meme is more about misogyny than it is about "saving babies"

Not that far of a slide, really, as "saving babies" was a euphemism for forced pregnancy
