Citizens united was a big fucking piece of it. John Roberts is a filthy traitor.
This all started long before Citizens United. The “southern strategy” used in the 1950s was probably the start of it. Reagan cozying up to the evangelicals was a big step. The Koch brothers had a vague roadmap that looked a lot like project 2025 in the 1980s. Starting in or around 2000, the republicans made a strong push to win state and local elections and pack the judiciary with conservative zealots. The explosion of the internet and social media let them put their propaganda machine into overdrive. The truth died of COVID-19 but it was terminally ill for decades before that.
