Forty Years of Fascism.

It began in 1984 when Ronald Reagan called the Hippies "unconscious agents of Satan" and the Soviet Union "the evil empire".

His campaign against the Left was characterized by demonization.

And this demonization created a scapegoat for Generation X who hated the Hippies and all left-wing politics.

Reagan had said: "Christianity contains unconventional weapons."

And he used these weapons in his political war.

Including damnation which he induced by activating Millennial expectations of Judgement Day.

And the AIDS crisis fueled homophobia in religious people creating a second scapegoat linked to the Left.

All of this was backed up by Reagan's media allies and his Hollywood connections.

But his crusade did not stop Satanism in rock music.

In fact it got worse.

And by the time Donald Trump was elected he was openly flipping allegations - a well known Satanic tactic.   

And the propaganda from Fox News would have made Joseph Goebbels proud.

Toxic tweets from Trump and QAnon incited violence against left-wing politicians and resulted in the failed insurrection of January 6 2021.

This is Fascism complete with scapegoats.

All of this is based on hate and evil.

But time is up.

With the election of left-wing governments and the rise of a new generation of politically aware young people the zeitgeist is turning.

And we may see the truth at last.
