That doesn't really work in the setting I've placed him in, but I'll definitely have to use that somewhere. Cold War preacher, made a local name for himself in the height of the Cold War, got a radio show in the 80s, then when the USSR fell, he just kept riding high on the lingering fear of communism, and he's actually better than most of the far right media personalities turned politicians he coalitions with because at least he's mad at actual AES states and former Warsaw Pact nations, not just calling everything he hates communism, and at least he says what no other far rightist will about the Republicans' 180 on Russia post Soviet dissolution. Sure, he screams that they're still commies, which objectively isn't true, but he's still not as bad as his political allies. That's a good write up for a character, for the post war/modern setting stuff I like to do, and an older version of him where he started as a radio version of a televangelist, before television was all that nationwide or used for such things, and he's a Cold War Christianity "Religious Right" archetype that actually is the worst and most insane Cold Warrior in the state legislature, would work for my active Cold War settings... the Soviet spies that are the good guys in all of my stuff, have to continually dodge clueless municipal law enforcement just trying to ticket anyone out of town for traffic infractions and noise complaints, federal counterintelligence on wild hunches or chasing someone else entirely... and the crazy state Cold Warrior who doesn't even realise how right he actually is about the Soviet agents he sees behind every blade of grass, Father McCarthy and his church turned radio show, and a bunch of civilians who listen to him, who have no idea what they're doing but fancy themselves Crusaders of a sort engaged in a Great Holy War.
