(11,736 posts)I think that the Nixon Administration is where the whole "The world is against us, but we are right" mentality was really solidified. Nixon battling it out with the Press, along with Wormtongue Roger Ailes in his ear about GOPTv. They started to make a sacrament out of the "silent majority", these poor put upon conservatives that have to watch Christianity have equal footing with other religious traditions and atheism. Whites actually having to have an equal playing field with minorities, Men with women, etc...
Conservatives have been the victims of oppression (in their minds) forever. The sad reality however, is that while conservatives may try to stop progress, they never will as change is inevitable. They are only victims of their own narrow minds.
