Overheard: "I blame Obama for Trump."
Well, I blame "W" for Obama. And I blame Clinton's sexual peccadillos for "W" getting into power and for the failure to launch something more Centrist (we were "almost" there!) And I blame Regan's 2nd term for cementing the Republican "Let's help the rich get richer" operations, which pushed too many people right into the arms of the Dems. That time led to a greater imbalance in favor of the wealth and of corporations, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the eroding of the middle class. There was an outcry for more economic equality, but this also opened to door to all this extreme societal liberalism. (We could otherwise have marched slowly & steadily towards compromises on decent treatment for everyone without this new sensibility that we shouldn't have our own opinions about morality anymore.)
The pendulum swings just stink... and they've affected nearly every aspect of our lives.
