Previous culture wars reigned for a few decades before this no? Abortion, gay marriage etc? All seeded thru academia.

The last culture war like this one was Tipper Gore's PMRC. Before that, the Moral Majority. Before that, satanic cult panic.

The New Deal was upper-class twits trying to triangulate against actual communists and fascists, ie working-class thugs.

The nitwits with prominence may have such a provenance, but the theoretical baggage is all from the top echelons.
