Ben Bradford looks at how, despite claims to the contrary, the new right and the old right are the same old critter. What's continuous in Republican politics for decades is the desire to "organize discontent" by inflaming rage among voters with an endless supply of manufactured culture-war grievances.

Dangle new imaginary threats in front of them and keep them enraged, and they'll keep voting GOP, regardless of the economic harm to themselves.
