2012 was when they decided to go totally rogue. The Rove crew had revived the onslaught of dirty tricks, and the tea party had stymied Obama but they decided that the end justified the means. It has been deliberate and calculated. Putin may have courted chump, but so did repubs.

The timing coincides with what Jane Mayer documents in DARK MONEY: the plutocrats and the fascist wannabes were shocked into action in 2009 by Obama's election and 2010 brought the Tea Party wave. Crashing the economy during the Bush II administration, not to mention screwing up the Middle East worse than it already was screwed up by going after Saddam Hussein, wasn't enough for them.
Frankly, I am willing to trace it to 1964, and I'm willing to go back to Herbert Hoover demanding after the 1932 election that FDR renounce anything he intended to change when he became president.
DonтАЩt forget the Coup of 1933. Rich dudes (including Prescott Bush) planned to kick FDR to the curb. Guess a review of our history is necessary. Wait, there is an historian on substackтАж

Glad she remembers it as I do. Wonder how Rupert managed to pull a fast one on the whole country. Money, money, money

Another non-substack type, Sally Denton, did a book on FDR, The Plots Against the President.
Thank you. Hope she mentioned the Coup. I had never heard of it til a few years ago.
