The Nation's Rick Perlstein: The Continuity From Joe McCarthy, through Barry Goldwater, through Ronald Reagan, through Newt Gingrich, to Ted Cruz

"All right-wing antigovernment rage in America bears a racial component, because liberalism is understood, consciously or unconsciously, as the ideology that steals from hard-working, taxpaying whites and gives the spoils to indolent, grasping blacks...Every time the government acts to expand the prerogatives of citizenship and economic opportunity to formerly disenfranchised groups, a racism-soaked backlash ensues."
