    That’s been a minute.

    I remember kids in my school wearing shirts with tanks running over Saddam with the caption, “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” I remember how happy my mother was about it.

        1991, with Limbaugh really gaining popularity. Conservative radio had found the secret sauce and this was arguably the first big win. The goals were certainly fascist.

        I’m from a particularly backwards place. Thinking back on it, this may be when the big change started happening.

        I think I would point to 9-11 2001 as the actual tipping point.
