The anti-government assault on the nation was begun in modern time by the Hunt Oil Family of Texas.  They funded Baptist preachers and John Birch Society mouthpieces on 50,000 Watt radio stations beginning in the 1940s on into the 1960s.  All of them proclaiming our government as evil.  Their initial success was the Goldwater nomination in 1964 which brought the anti-government ideology to the forefront of the Republican Party to replace the former Moderate wings of the Rockefellers.  White Supremacists rose up to rail against Civil Rights for non-whites combining Old South Democrats with Oil Republicans and Western cattle ranchers; all the greatest benefactors of government spending, but never enough for the greedy ones.  After Nixon blew the Dictatorship opportunity set up by assassinations and War, Daddy Koch and his fellow Oil creeps began the full-scale propaganda and bribery schemes to infiltrate state government.  The final success was the Trump election.  A Nation in Peril.
