Logical Progression

The Republican Party cast its lot with the white backlash to the civil rights movement beginning with Barry Goldwater in 1964. What has happened since is simply a straight lined logical progression since then, picking up also with the no-nothingness, anti-intellectualism, xenophobia, anti-immigrantism, and plutocracy that is such a big part of our country's history. It all makes sense if you see the logical progression.
