I don't think right wingers realize this stuff doesn't hurt more liberal people, or the so called left. For instance, if we return to back alley abortion that will only hurt the poor and society as a whole. The wealthy will do the same as they have done in the past. If tax policy is trickle down revisited, who does that hurt but again the working class of which most are white and many voted for Trump. The rich will spend on foreign acquisitions and hide money off shore. Consider Limbaugh as an example, he buys Maybach autos made by German union workers who make twice as much as American union workers - the few left in this country. You really think that hurts liberals? That only supports Germany. Or consider keiretsu, the Japanese import a million and half autos into the US and allow only a few American cars into Japan, meanwhile Americans complain that GM got a loan, and righties disparage unions. I could go on but conservative, corporate America plays right wing and libertarian types like a banjo. And all you characters do is point in the wrong direction.
"[The Great Depression, Pat] Robertson wrote, did "more to shape the existing framework of U.S. government policy than any other single event in recent history." The legacy of the Great Depression included "a powerful central government ... an anti-business bias in the country ... powerful unions," and, most important of all, "the belief in the economic policy of British scholar John Maynard Keynes, to the end that government spending and government 'fine tuning' would guarantee perpetual prosperity." Robertson conceded that such measures might have played a role in ending the Great Depression. But fifty years later they were responsible for the "sickness of the 70s" - the devaluation of the dollar, inflation, the decline in productivity. Robertson called for a "profound moral revival" to combat the economic weaknesses plaguing the United States. "Those who love God must get involved in the election of strong leaders," he insisted, and they should choose men and women who were "pledged to reduce the size of government, eliminate federal deficits, free our productive capacity, ensure sound currency."

"Early issues of the 'Journal-Champion' carried numerous articles calling the faithful to the fight to cleanse America of sexual sin: homosexuality, pornography, and abortion. But interwoven with this campaign were descriptions of the economic and political crisis facing the United States. 'The greatest threat to the average American's liberty does not come From Communistic aggression, crime in the decaying cities or any other external cause," read an article in the June 1978 issue. "It comes from the growing internal encroachments of government bureaucrats as they limit the freedom of Americans through distribution of rules and regulations, many times called guidelines." The newspaper criticized OSHA's "insulting or silly" regulations, and published an open letter to Congress denouncing the "faceless bureaucrats who sit in strategy meetings and formulate federal guidelines," saying that they "pinch our pocket books, restrict our work privileges, govern our spending habits, determine the 'safety' restrictions of our businesses and influence the type of homes we live in.""
