power. we could avoid all of this if we just lived up to ideals. until then, see you in those streets. xxxxx. the following is a cnn special report . >> our radical transformation.

decades in the making. but the roots are old and deep. then there were the fears of the john birch society. >> these horrible communists that are affecting the youth of america. >> now the crazy conspiracies of qanon. >> joe biden is the biggest pedophile. >> exploiting god for votes began a long time ago. >> this war is for the soul of america. >> 3:17. that's the whole ball game. >> voter suppression. >> i don't want everybody to vote. >> cheating democracy. >> massive voter role purges. millions upon millions removed from the voter roll. >> the ugly history of racism. >> if you were a black

republican, you would suddenly feel this party doesn't want you there anymore. the so-called trump base is a shrinking base. this isn't working. it's not working for america. it's not working for republicans. >> it can't even govern. >> what the hell happened to republicans? good evening. i'm fareed zakaria. america may never have lived through a political era as troubling as this one. a sitting president, donald trump, tried to hold on to his office even after he lost the election. an american president incited an angry mob to attack the u.s. capitol. donald trump is gone, but the simple truth is it may just be for now. much of the gop believes that

big lie and is busy trying to make it harder for americans to vote. what on earth happened to the republican party? the only way to find the answers is to go back to the beginning of this story. >> a hot july 9th, 1964. san francisco, an arena built to showcase cattle. it is packed tonight with herds of the republicans. thousands of rowdy delegates here to choose the gop candidate for president. >> i have never seen a convention like i'm seeing at this time. >> at the podium stands a strong breed. but one on the road to extinction. >> well, i don't believe there really is such thing as a liberal republican.

>> actually, there were many liberals in the gop. like governor nelson rockefeller of new york. tonight he's demanding that his party denounce seg regation and extremism. >> they encourage disunity. >> the crowd quickly turns hostile. >> he starts being booed in a remarkably vicious way. it's frightening. >> the governor is entitled to be heard for five minutes. if he can't be heard for five minutes if we're going to have these constant interruptions. >> and so many republicans despised the wealthy liberal eastern elites like rockefeller who have long dominated the party. >> these are people who have nothing in common with

americanism. >> the republican convention of 1964 turned into this rank fight. >> now, look, the governor hasn't had a chance to talk. he's been up here ten minutes and he hasn't had a chance to talk but about four minutes. >> we want barry! we want barry! >> barry is senator barry goldwater of arizona, the almost certain nominee, one of the most right wing politicians in the whole country. ♪ >> but there is one delegate determined to stop the goldwater juggernaut. >> i think that the mood of the negro delegation is such that they could not, will not, would not support the nominee if it's goldwater.

>> that's not just any republican. >> pitches to jackie robinson. >> jackie robinson is an american hero. the first black player in major league baseball. >> there seems to be some concern that former great baseball player jackie rocken son may lead a negro walk-out of this convention. >> jackie, could you explain to us the walk-out. >> that's what it is. not out of the party. nobody is walking out of the republican party. >> robinson deplores the far right goldwater, but he remains loyal to the party of lincoln, the party that had historically been pro-civil rights.

>> if you were a black republican, you would feel this party that has been your home since the civil war, this party didn't want you there anymore. >> 40,000 people, half of them negros demonstrate against goldwater. >> those that felt unwanted took to the streets outside, including jackie robinson. at the heart of their anger, the 1964 civil rights law, signed into law just days before the convention began. barry goldwater was one of only 27 senators to vote against it. >> we are being asked to destroy the rights of some under the false banner of promoting the civil rights of others. >> historians say goldwater was not a risist. but most agree he did not do enough to denounce segregation. >> the racial climate is growing

uglier. >> the negro race, you see me first as negro when i should first be a human being. >> demonstrators carrying him up the center aisle. >> a black man protesting goldwater is dragged out by security. others are spat on, called racist names. >> it doesn't represent to a lot of people watching on tv a rally. >> any self-respecting negro must walk out of this convention. >> america's most famous black republican had finally seen enough. >> mr. robinson. >> senator, president johnson. >> yes, i would very strongly vote for president johnson over goldwater, there is no question about that. >> he walked out of the convention and the party for

good. >> for any major party who a man in my opinion is a bigot and a man that will attempt us from moving forward. >> might i remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no bias. >> he called his supporters to be extremists, to be radicals. was it a watershed moment in america? yes, it was. >> goldwater's defense of extremism would lose him the election. >> lyndon b. johnson landslide of november 3rd, 1964. >> he received just 5% of the black vote, down from 32% for richard nixon just four years earlier.

but goldwater had changed history for the republicans. he created what we now know as the right wing base. >> what goldwater does is bring together the post world war ii, the republicans firmly opposed to business regulation, and he brings those together with the southern democrats, the southern white supremacists who were against the idea of desegregation and he marys them in a new coalition that will take over the party. >> the fashions that barry goldwater inspired were explained. he wrote, a conservative is someone who stands to thwart history yelling stop. indeed the right would shout stop over and over again in the coming decades. those shouts echoed through the

1960s as america exploded. cities were racked by rioting. over civil rights and police shootings. >> don't bow down anymore. over your head, sir. thousands were dying in the jungles of vietnam. >> anti-war protests filled the streets. enter presidential candidate richard nixon. he knew exactly how terrifying 1968 was to the right wing base. >> the wave of crime is not going to be the wave of the future in america. >> fear, fear, fear.

>> nixon used what was called the southern strategy. build a base by attracting more white support in the south with subtle appeals to racism. >> those code words, these dog whistles, law and order. >> law and order is something that everybody wants. >> the right loved nixon until he began to run the country. to their horror, he wanted to make government bigger. >> he proposed a universal health insurance program, and no president left behind a more ambitious environmental legacy than richard nixon. >> nixon actually founded the environmental protection agency. >> big government was there to stay. it was disappointing for a lot of conservatives. >> there is a president waving good-bye. >> but then the watergate

scandal consumed the nux son presidency. it would be 1980 before conservatives found a new hero. ronald reagan was goldwater reincarnated, only better looking and smoother talking. >> i think george will put it well that barry goldwater actually won. it just took them 16 years to count the votes. >> while reagan took the goldwater message but he put a sunnier face on it. >> some lights seem eternal. america's is. >> he had a sense of real triumph, that american society was going to change in some very fundamental ways. >> he was and is a republican icon for defeating the soviet union. but once again, a conservative darling shocked the base with

his domestic policy. >> he didn't cut spending, and he ended up, as you know, exploding the debt and the deficit. >> there he is. >> the reagan revolution turned out to be more rhetoric than reality. the great society state, panded >> when reagan left office, conservatives became more ready for a story of betrayal. >> the right longed for a fighter. and reagan's successor, the elite yale educated george bush did not fit the bill. conservatives felt betrayed one more time. now they found their new hero in the man who helped wreck bush's presidency. the fiery congressman newt

gingrich. >> i am a genuine revolutionary. >> once a democrat was back in the white house, newt gingrich became leader of the opposition. >> he wins control of congress with rage, resentment, culture war and betrayal. >> we will change their world. they will do anything to stop us. >> gingrich pioneered the fight club mentality that would eventually consume the gop. >> gingrich understood that his voters didn't care about winning. they didn't care about winning policy fights. what they cared about was fighting. >> mr. gingrich will whisper in your right ear and i will whisper in your left ear. >> he kept coming close to doing deals with bill clinton, and then he realized in the end, no, no. we care about the fight. >> care and balance, fox news channel. >> the rise of the fox news channel in the mid-1990s really fed the sense of conservative

grievance. >> few broadcasts take any chances these days and most are very politically correct. well, we're going to try to be different. >> the way we report, the way recover it. >> if we couldn't make a voter believer anywhere that we could limit the size of government, then we would fight the culture wars. >> by the time george w. bush came president, a new wave of conservative lawmakers were ready for politics as war. but once again, another bush disappointed them. >> the president of the united st states. [ applause ] >> i remember, actually, sitting in the state of the union address the first one with george w. bush where he was talking about no child left behind and some of these kind of big government programs that mike pence and i were kind of agast at. we felt like minute men that finally got to the battle and the war was over.

that disappointment would turn to rage. during bush's failed war in iraq and the financial crisis and the bail-outs that bush supported. >> he just destroyed and discredited everything he was trying to do and left the door open for different kinds of radicals to struggle for power. >> it was, of course, race, the issue that republicans had happily exploited that would finally push the button to the edge, a black president in the white house triggered a dramatic response. >> coming to you on a silver platter, barack hobama. >> the rise of the tea party movement was supposed to be a response to obamacare, but in

reality it was mostly a response to obama's race. >> obama's election was a trigger. >> this president, i think, has exposed himself as a guy over and over again who has a deep seeded hatred for white people. >> the base began not only to hate obama. >> what is wrong with this president? >> but to despise gop leaders for being unable to stop him. >> they soured on the bushes, on john mccain, on mitt romney. searching instead for someone who would embody their rage and finally give them their revolution. >> we're going to win. we're going to win so big. thank you. [ applause ] ...from a lot of that.

and roughly 1 in 4 republicans agree with a key tenant of the qanon conspiracy, that a group of satan worshipping elites that run a child sex ring are trying to control our media and politics. >> joe biden is the biggest pedophile on the face of the planet. >> it's not a conspiracy. it is a fact. >> it becomes impossible to deny. the republican party today has been infected by a series of crazy conspiracy theories. why? the paranoid strain in american politics runs deep through the country's history. and this kind of fear and suspicion of power has roots on the right going back more than half a century. but there is a big difference between then and now. >> in the past, paranoia never went mainstream. >> usa!

>> but today the republican party's leaders have about we- of its supporters worst fantasies. this is the story of how conspiracy theorists move from the fringe of the republican party snack dab to its center. it begins in the 1950s. the early years of the cold war. the soviet union got the bomb. china went communist. americans felt the enemy was winning. >> the u.s. troops took their losses. >> america was so strong, so powerful, so rich. yet many things in the world didn't go america's way. >> joseph mccarthy electrified the country by explaining this was happening because of treason

>> we are involved in a contest. >> they stop at no one. welch even accused the hero of d-day, president dwight eisenhower of being a dedicated conscious agent of the communist conspiracy. they demanded the impeachment of the chief justice of the supreme court for supporting desegregation. and they fought tooth and nail against the civil rights movement, using anti-communism as a cover for racism. >> those views reached millions of americans through widely distributed pamphlets, magazines and books. >> treason on the campus. these horrible communists that are infecting the youth of america. >> the birchers finally found someone they liked, barry goldwater. >> charge this administration has gone soft on communism, and

you know it. >> it is hard to imagine barry goldwater getting the nomination in 1964 without the john birch society. >> but he had been urged by establishment republicans to denounce the conspiracy theories. unlike today, republican leaders felt morally obligated to call out what they knew were lies. goldwater called out welsh himself, but was critical in his criticism of the notice. >> i'm far more fearful about the radical members of the left than the birch society. >> this was the beginning of a calculated two-faced dance by republican politicians. not voicing the conspiracies

>> it all began with the intellectual godfather of william conservatism, william f. buckley jr., defined that movement as standing athwart history trying to stop. what buckley was trying to stop was the new deal, the expansion of government under roosevelt. he was also referring to the growing secularization of society. his first published in 1951 was a diatribe against what he believed was the anti-christian and anti-capitalist forces at the nation's best universities. buckley yelled stop again during the civil rights movement, writing in 1957 that the south must prevail because the more advanced white race had an obligation and right to rule over others. he changed his mind during the mid 1960s, but many conservatives remain staunchly opposed to the landmark civil rights bills of 1964 and '65.

in other words, the modern republican party has its roots in rebellion, rebellion against the main currents of change in modern american society. the growth of the welfare state, the secularization of life, and the increasing diversity of american society. the trouble is most americans don't agree with that protest. they may express discomfort with the welfare state in theory, but in practice, they love social security, medicare, and the rest. secularization is a force that is sweeping almost all advanced industrial societies, and one government can do little to stop. and america's growing diversity is inevitable in a country built on immigration, and has proved mostly to be a strength, not a weakness. but republican politicians are now riding the back of a tiger, and they can't get off. reagan, gingrich, trump, all the
