A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Yep. They just weren't as visible. The biggest thing is not their 'rise' it's rage-induced social media giving them a platform to broadcast to millions. Previously they were just on their little niche websites and before that they were making zines and pamphlets and you had to work to go find their materials.
I also agree with your read on the Democrats. They refuse to have any progressive or positive policy agenda that they enact and they keep losing out because the Republicans have very clear agenda and they aggressively enact it. Their messaging and voter outreach is atrocious and have a been a complete mess since Obama left office and even his second term was middling.
they've always had their platform, that is literally what fox news/the murdoch empire was created for
