I agree with much of what you have written, but we must also remember that one David Koch ran for vice- president on the libertarian ticket with Ed Clark (I think they garnered like 1 percent of the vote). The Koch's had established the Cato institute back in 1977, and I had a philosophy class with a graduate student who was a big Reagan fan, and was going to go to work at a conservative think tank. Whether its Scaife or Adelson or Coors or the infamous Kochs, the Right created a unified infrastructure of propaganda, including think tanks, a network, whole departments, radio and bloggers etc. Some of the biggest donors could care less about Christian "morality" or "family" values, but they realized
they needed to appropriate any and all techniques that worked, because its a given fact that Conservative and Right-wing philosophies are not really very popular when you leave the theatrics and get down to the specifics. The means conquered the ends...
I think more than a few people have noted that excessive money in politics, is not particularly kind to the more complex ideas that progressive politics is about--Not to mention where most of the tsunami of Benjamins originate.
The type of negative mass knee-jerk propaganda the right specializes in, wins not so much because of the content of the message, but because the container is so simple, and is built upon the foundation of fear (one of our most powerful motivators). The right long ago realized their elitist policies obviously are not supported by the mainstream when broken down and analyzed. They are only assented to when
splintered to the dark PsyOps of the black boogie man, the immigrant boogie man, and of course, the liberal boogie man, who has a laser guidance system on his/her nose to look down upon the rabble accurately.
Not altogether an exaggeration to say Lee Atwater is one of the great terrorists of this century, and never even had to fire a shot! He apologized on his death bed, and now we see our countries death bed in the mists he and his acolyte Rove spun to democracies great detriment. Heres hoping we survive intact.
The idea that everyone is a spiritual adherent to the gospel of the spewing clip is just another false equivalency, that aids the NRA in there quest to make peace seem heretical
Of course, we cannot interview the dead; it's doubtful they would prefer a terrorist executioner over a homophobic executioner, or a spiritual terrorist to a secular one. The blood flows regardless of motive.
It represents their self interest, because depressing the economy gives them rationale for cutting services, which they are obsessed with, rational or not. The new doctrine of the super-wealthy is to sreck everything in order to demand cuts...

Seems Daesh may be doing what Trump is doing: throwing so many bombs they will eventually alienate many supporters.
