Well, the time that moderates should have started actively questioning if "Are the dems and pinkos right?" if nothing else.
But for the lefties, it was pretty much Reagan that shouted it out that they were anti-worker.

Well, I'm just not surprised that those people are confused about why suddenly they are suddenly being compared to the old German American Bund.

It is nice that there is a specific year, though, that we can point at for when the moderates lost plausible deniability when it comes to being enablers of the far right.
They identify as conservative because all they want is to fit in with the local "in group" and actively refuse to see if they actually maintain anything that could be referred to as a "standard"
