"Fox News is headquartered in New York, from where it pumps out a steady stream of horror stories about urban decay and condescending liberal 'elites' who want nothing more than to destroy all the things rural people value. The message is clear: Those liberals are coming for you and your family. Though you are the truest Americans, they hate you and everything you stand for. They call you a racist and a redneck. They want to force their perverted ideas of sex and family on you. And the best way to fight back is to vote Republican -- and forget about those democratic principles you learned in school. This is a war, and there's no time to play fair."
Similar message used against Democrats from a different direction: The corrupt coastal elite Establishment hates progressives and everything you stand for and will stop at nothing to destroy you even though you are right, the authentic Will of the People. They call you radicals and far left. They are immoral, bought and sold by billionaires and oligarchs. The only way to fight back is a political revolution -- the Democratic Party must be taken over and transformed. This is a war.
