Context is everything in politics just like in archaeology.
Birtherism is integral to Obamacare opposition.
This goes way back to the Birchers, 50s racism, and paranoid politics.

1. Hard truths, too hard to look at for some.

Primate, primate, primate. We're still so primitive.

2. Racist to the core

They'd accept Russian authoritarianism rather than abandon institutional racism.

3. If the shoe fits

There is an orange colored man who worked with Russia to try to alter the outcome of the election to provide favorable conditions for Russia. Sure Russia isn't communist, but they never really were.

4. "Better Dead Than Red".

I grew up hearing that slogan and seeing those bumper stickers. The John Birch Society and other Reichwingers were always racists to the core. They all had a KKK mentality, but wore three piece suits instead of hoods and robes.

5. And you can say all that in the present tense about them today.

Kochs, Mercers, Trumps, Princes and DeVos, et.al, are the current leaders of the paranoid Reich wingers, willing to collude with anyone to achieve their ends by any means.
