Who, exactly, is the boogeyman?

We need a precise definition of the composition of the American right that is at the heart of promoting and inciting the “unthinkable” dark ideas that used to be hidden under the surface but have probably always been there. Who, exactly, are the big major players? The ones with the money? The ones either directly or covertly setting the course? I think that if such an investigation were ever really carried out we’d probably see a small core group of rich libertarians, billionaires who have legions of lobbyists, media and corporate backers and promoters, lackeys, surrogates, and paid government employees and congressional members. But I do believe that as a group it would probably be not as numerous as the broad general term of “the American Right” suggests that it is.
