That is exactly how people on this thread are using the term in accurately describing Rush’s agenda these days. He knows what he’s doing. And this can go on for just so long until a Trump nomination or Presidency renders Rush ridiculous.

In the town where I live, they have a “Gaslight Festival” every September.
