it's been absurd for longer then that...
I would personally mark the absurdity starting with the impeachment of Clinton. As soon as the "moral majority" took over congress we were led inevitably down the path of self-deluded hypocrisy; the kind of people who are so full of themselves that they literally think they have the capacity to unerringly judge who is "going to hell".
The world seems much simpler in Black and White: a polarizing narrative and literal demonization of the outgroup seems to solidify the ingroup identity and play towards half of the electorate's theatrical sense of drama.
