Expanding a bit on something I posted the other day.
Much of what we call "conservative ideology" was invented by tobacco companies to fight govt efforts to protect the public.
Many "conservative movement" operatives came from tobacco PR & lobbyng firms.
The author of the Powell Memo was a tobacco lawyer.
The industry did extensive polling & focus group testing of messaging & came up with a formula, smaller govt, nanny state, stop big government meddling, etc.
