No, Rush was not an establishment propagandist.
Republicans are literally establishment.
Rush Limbaugh only supported Republicans as an alternative to democrats. We have a two party state because we have winner take all elections. This is called Duverger's Law that you always default, even in parliamentary systems, into two major coalitions or parties. If you don't support liberals, you have no choice but to support the opposition party.
Moreover, to reform the party you do support, you have to use primaries to shift the party one way or the other, which is why he called them cowards all the time for not standing up for conservative principles and supported the Tea Party.
And yet he supported the Republicans and they supported him.
Doesn't get more mainstream than that.
He supported some republicans, and some he didn't. If you'd have ever listened to him, you'd have known that. In 40+ years, that's a lot of politicians coming and going, some good, and some bad. Frankly, he criticized republicans more than he praised them, mostly for being cowardly. They would always try to get on his good side, but he kept himself deliberately segregated away from their machinations. Again, if you were a listener, you'd know that.
Two party system, dude occasionally supported Republicans, mostly because democrats were so bad. I bet you've voted for Republicans, are you mainstream?
And why does "mainstream" or not even matter? Does edgelord status have some cache when he red-pilled millions?
Rush Limbaugh is the definition of an establishment propagandist, you fucking idiot. Zero self-awareness.
Coming from you, who likely never listened to him either, shows zero self-awareness.
Pot, meet kettle, kettle, meet pot.
I've had the misfortune of hearing Rush Limbaugh talk out of his ass for decades. He's the definition of an establishment propagandist. He gets paid to lie. Predictably, you're still stuck on the "liberal bad conservative good" false paradigm that you actually think this bloated sack of shit had integrity. You're a partisan hack. But don't feel bad, that's the majority of people here.
Nope, sorry. I know you're lying about listening to Rush, because of what you're saying about him now. The closest he has ever come to being a conformist is not for being for 3rd parties in the pre-Trump era, and complaining about kooky Free Republic folks for a spell. But oh, he was not a propagandist just because he was careful of what he said. I suspect he was to subtle for you.
Your dime store psych quick read is wrong as can be.
Again, you're in a glass house throwing stones. But don't feel bad, you're like the majority of liberals even though you think you're not.
Your twelve .be quiet adults are speaking
How much time do you think you spent actually listening to him?
He’s dead. Do you really need to piss on his grave just because you disagree with his political philosophy?
