This is like Israel-Hamas. You can pick basically any President since the 60s and say it started there.
Nixon was a reaction to the DEMs (mostly JFK)
Carter was a reaction to Nixon
Reagan was a reaction to Carter
Clinton was a reaction to Reagan/GHWB
Bush was a reaction to Clinton
Obama was a reaction to Bush
Trump was a reaction to Obama
"Biden" was a reaction to Trump
It's a framing argument. There were varying levels of escalation/reaction in each administration.

In this case it boils down to a simple fact. If i dont take your money/need your money you cant control me

Any of these deified like Obama by the press and DC?
Now, I'll certainly admit DC has been the only consistently growing city on earth since WW2, because of the consistently growing administrative state.
But like CTH's thesis, the "patriot act" from the Neocon Rs has been turned onto DC's political enemies.
That has led unlawful behavior, and weaponized law unheard of in this country's history. The obvious double standard is leading to "flexible" law of whom has power.
Dangerous... and it is coming from the previous Obama administration who have filled Potato Joe's administration.
You are correct when throwing in some Neocons from Bush for good measure.

I think it's always been this way and the technological changes have amplified our awareness. To make it worse those in charge clearly DGAF about us watching them in real time be complete clowns with policy and rule of law. Don't tell me we had a "small government" at any point in time. Corruption is probably at it's lowest point in history, unfortunately.

I think you mean "mostly LBJ".
Had Kennedy not been assassinated, he probably serves 2 terms, folllowed by Nixon.
