    I cannot stand Rush and have long hated him.

    I had family members who were brainwashed by his radio show decades ago who would listen to him religiously. I think about them any time I see this asshole. Conservative radio was a big deal in the 90s.

    In many ways, Trump is a call back to Rush's bigoted ranting from back in the day on the radio. I think part of why Trump had so much success back in 2016 was cause he probably reminded old chuds of the conservatives they listened to ranting and raving on the radio.

      Trump is the logical conclusion of their last 30 years of propaganda strategy: an unironic, true-believer Fox News Grandpa finally ascended to power.

        100% agree with you and that's the best way to sum it up. Seeing so many of my relatives get brainwashed by Fox News over the years was so depressing. It's even happening now with my own parents who aren't that old.
