The rise wasn't as organic as you'd think. A surprisingly large percentage of the politicians, media personalities, etc. on the right attended Morton Blackwell's Leadership Institute. It's a common core, connected to the RNC, major religious-right groups, and other conservative-movement organizations, creating a vast, interconnected web of people highly trained in the kinds of political behaviors and messaging we are all too familiar with, today.

I had no idea - thanks for this info! I’ve heard of some training programs for progressives but none recently. That’s another important strategy Dems could ramp up. As much as they throw the rest of us under the bus, right wingers provide a lot of support to each other. Until they double-cross each other, but that’s another story
