(37,163 posts)5. It's hardly just Trump. I made my first 2-minute hate analogy back in the 20th Century.
The Republicans basically outsourced their messaging to Talk Radio, newsletters, conservative magazines, and eventually FOX News.
Those entities had no incentive to limit the 2-minute hates to two minutes. Foam & bile was a selling point and what made them money. They promptly made it 24-7 and coast-to-coast.
