re: #126 Expand Your Ground

Bryan Fischer is being propped up by mainstream conservatives, he is not fringe, guys like him are essential to Republicans

basically, you have bomb throwers like Fischer who play to the useful cow-dumb republican religious base, who are quietly supported by mainstream republicans (tribalism, enemy of my enemy is my friend, etc) because without the base the republican machine doesn’t function

the current climate is much like the 80’s, but faster: the GOP needs hate-preachers to survive, but needs the content to come fast and furious, the internet is a bigger pipe than cable TV or the 700 club

Ronald Reagan glad-handed these people to get us where we are, praise white Jesus!
