Can in America or people who study the USA pick the definitive point we went from going up hill to snow boarding down hill and then came to a cliff which we have no clue what the bottom is? (lemmy.world)

clintons was very much a result of reagan. nixon would have liked to do more but his party was not ignoring everyone but their base at the time and recognized there had to be some give and take and they still had some connection to actual ideals. Nixon was kinda the start though its just reagan made it more publically so and its become more public with each new one.
