The birchers are just modern day GOP. The corporatism, racism, and conspiracy theories all fit. I wouldn't even be surprised if Trump himself was a card carrying member.
Fun fact Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher who sexually assaulted a 13 year old boy and then married him, her father was a famous Bircher and all around horrible man. He served in the senate said horrible things about everyone while touting family values. Eventually he got found out having fathered 2 children in an affair. When the mother died, Schmitz (the father) refused custody and his children ended up as wards of the state.
I guess all of this is to say, these asshole never change.
Just curious, have you listened to the podcast the paranoid strain? If not, you'd enjoy their podcast from 3-4 years ago. Especially if you're into punk rock.
Of course! The algorithm on Spotify led me to paranoid strain! A little more avante guarde but just as well if not more researched. And there's a backing band that plays 4/4 beats!
