    I’m okay with Newt being the root of all evil.

    But you can go farther back to Reverend Jerry Falwell and the moral majority. That was the point when the republican base started saying no more negotiations, no more deals. We want what we want, and if we have to elect morally bankrupt people to get it we are okay with that. This was the seed of our modern dictatorship and project 2025.
