In 1995 Republicans took control of the House after 40 years of Dem Control, Here Dem Speaker Gephardt hands the gavel to Rep Newt Gingrich. Surprisingly, both Rep’s and Dem’s stand up and clap.

You will notice that gradually over the years, the Democrats became more Progressive. It's now to the point that the tail wags the dog. The majority are still center left, but the Prog filth runs the show. They want to transform America into a 3rd world shithole with open borders where anyone can come here, regardless of your intentions. They hate America.

Insider Trading, Uniparty, Compromised, etc..then too. But yes, decorum was better, and the Dems not as infested with Alinsky radicals just yet, or at least they weren't saying the quiet parts out loud back then.

You can see the change accelerate from about 2008 on.

Took flight with the couple from ARkansas....they brought every manner of lawlessness and a shattered moral compass with them - especially the she. It has only accelerated since....particularly with the Progressives who are unable to complete a sentence - much less thought - absent vulgarity

The typical Dem senator 50 years ago was similar to La.'s John Kennedy. In fact, he was a Dem until they started going communist.

No social media, MSM in check, and Deep State in full control.

I believe it all started in 2016... That's when Trump defeated the Dems precious Hillary. And inexperienced politican who defeated someone with a lifetime of political exp. Also it was great and the wonderful Clinton family. That did not sit well with Dems, especially the women. And you know Democrat Men have dominant wives telling what to think.

Then you also had the great NFL flag kneeling bull crap. Dems were complaining this country was never great etc, etc.

Correct, the illegalities and degradation of the White House happened with these two but when we saw the party, media and donor class jump up to defend it you knew something really sinister had happened.

The Marxists, communists and socialists have hated America's success for generations along with capitalism and free enterprise that has made them look like the failures that they are.
