"Gingrich’s strategy to demonize Democrats has worked with many"
I agree that Gingrich perfected the demonization of Democrats as a "mainstream" political message. But as popular message to the masses, we must never forget what Rush Limbaugh and his ilk did to carry out large-scale brainwashing, the purpose of which was to convince anyone who would listen (and millions did ... day in and day out for decades) that Democrats were commies, socialists, feminazis, and welfare-queen enablers. All roads lead back to Limbaugh on AM radio. Gingrich and his lot rode Rush's coattails. And now look where we are.
Rush and other right-wing radio hosts come on the scene around the time Gingrich sets out his strategy. This is coupled with the elimination of radio stations needing to be somewhat balanced in offering opinions. Rush et al supercharge Gingrich’s strategy to the masses. Another example showing that brainwashing works.
