1. It feels like she lost her dad to a horrible disease...

it is much worse though. The entire nation lost. In the late 70's conservatives might have been selfish and they held back progress on civil rights, but they at least tried to appear sane. And of course there always were among even conservatives those who were mainly conservative because they believed that the government should have little to no control over businesses and that taxes should be low, you know the very likely selfish ones, but they might have been socially progressive. I don't see that much anymore. I just see raging conservatives who are openly racist, sexist, homophobic, backwards on civil rights and every other social justice issue.

3. They did a kickstarter for this that was successful back in Oct 2013...

See: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jensenko/the-brainwashing-of-my-dad-documentary

The film was suppose to be released about April 2014 but almost a year later still no movie.

4. Talk radio and dads with long car rides to job commutes. Well the good news is that car ridership

is down. So maybe less fathers will be brainwashed.

Noting that this focus began in the Nixon era, I was thinking about radio names from that era. A.M. radio. Anyone remember some of those names. They really are the blueprint for the folks we have now.

7. we called them John Birchers back then

and it was a small minority of men, in pockets, but prevailing nonetheless across the country in the business (hogs-in-the-trough) 'gentry', same as now. Check out Robert S. De Ropp The Master Game, now on PDF online
