Re: “You have only noticed the last 20 because conservatives started to have a voice a bit over 20 years ago.”
Is that a quote from Ronald Reagan?
He won a landslide reelection in 1984.
Reagan is the exception that proves the rule.
Much like Donald Trump, he realized the Media was the enemy.
He worked to get around the Media, and had some success; he won the Cold war.
Reagan, like Trump, was a complete surprise to the deep state. He was supposed to lose.
Reagans appointments to the Supreme Court were the start of an Orignialist Court today. Still, the left was able to stop Bork. The left was able to get a ban on any more manufacture of machineguns into the reforms of the gun owners protection act of 1986. The left was able to stop serious dimminishment of illegal immigration after they got amnesty.
Affirmitive action kept getting worse and worse.
The universities kept getting more and more left.
Conservatives, in general, still did not understand the enemy was the media, until after the election of 1994.
