See, I Told You So: Americans Hate Government More Than Ever

RUSH: Yeah, we're still gonna get to the Democrat side of things, and we're not through with the Republican side. For example, two stories. I got raked over the coals for making this point yesterday, and here I come being backed up today. CBS News: "Americans Hate the US Government More Than Ever." And then the BBC, BBC News Magazine: "Donald Trump and the Politics of Paranoia," and then this writer for the BBC gives the "history of fear" in American politics in order to explain Trump. It's exactly what I said yesterday, exactly what I said.

The fear of government.

There's a fear of losing your job, fear of losing your job, fear of this or that, but all those fears are under a giant umbrella of fear of the government. So I made that point, and I said, "That's why there are probably some people who support Cruz, because they think of him as a conservative, because he's gonna stop the fear of government." And I got raked over the coals in a couple places. "How dare he! That's absurd." Here comes the backup the very next day. I... Well, I was gonna say, "I love it," but that's petty. But it's the truth.
