Topic | Why is America currently so divided? |
Doom_Art 02/13/24 11:01:46 AM #11: | Conservatives formed the "silent majority" starting with the Nixon years and stretching through the 1980s. They had a solid lock on most cultural/social issues in this period.
However, since the 90s, they're slipping. They have a hard time winning elections nationally, as the internet/social media spread, their hold on the culture loosened, the fact that places that usually skew conservatives (more rural-based communities) got absolutely gutted by free trade and the 08 recession, then mix in 20-30 years of radicalization from 24 hour media like Fox and viola --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.
