Начало эпохи межпартийного антагонизма принято связывать с победой республиканцев во главе с Ньютом Гингричем на выборах в Конгресс в 1994.
По их собственному признанию Раш Лимбо сыграл тогда ключевую роль.
The freshman class, which included not a single "femi-Nazi," one of Mr. Limbaugh's favorite epithets for supporters of women's rights, whooped and applauded, proving itself one big fan club of the man it believes was primarily responsible for the Republican avalanche in November. Mr. Limbaugh was made an honorary member of the class as its members tonight finished a three-day orientation here sponsored by the Heritage Foundation and Empower America, two conservative Washington research organizations. Barbara Cubin, an incoming freshman from Wyoming, told Mr. Limbaugh that because 74 percent of the nation's newspapers had endorsed Democrats, "talk radio, with you in the lead, is what turned the tide." On behalf of the women in the class, she gave him a plaque that said, "Rush Was Right." He also received a pin like the ones the freshmen wore, saying, "Majority Maker." "Rush is as responsible for what happened here as much as anyone," said Vin Weber, a former Representative from Minnesota, now of Empower America. Citing a poll taken after the election by Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster, Mr. Weber said that people who listened to 10 hours or more a week of talk radio voted Republican by a 3-to-1 margin. "Those are the people who elected the new Congress," he said. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/12/us/republicans-get-a-pep-talk-from-rush-limbaugh.html
Упомянутый Vin Weber попал недавно под расследование за работу с Манафортом на Януковича в Украине, но отделался легким испугом, уволившись из своей лоббистской компании.
Да, "контракт с Америкой" Гингрича в корне изменил тон политических дискуссий. Республиканская риторика стала напоминать разоблачающую риторику советских газет. Тот же Гингрич всегда был "на взводе". А через два года появился канал "Фокс ньюс", где несколько блондинок кричали друг на друга. Я попадала на них, когда кликала по каналам, и быстренько старалась убраться он их истерических воплей.
