I lived in Mississippi for years, and saw this at work during the '90s.

The right-wingers there had more or less learned to live within certain ideological bounds after the civil rights era.

Until Rush Lumpball and Faux News came along - and with a major supporting role from many of the local pastors.

Almost overnight, around '92 or so, extremism became acceptable again. And as you know, it only tends to get worse over time.
