Was it always "my team vs their team" kind of cancer or were people more civilized? Do we have any boomers up in here who glanced at politics?

pard is that way

I like orange man tho

I am neutral, but a lot of people have went full mental retardation after orange man appeared. Idk if it has something to do with asylums closing down, but would be hard to link as they started closing down in the 1950s. Then again, a lot of these people are old so could be some that were released from these asylums. Look at riots here and it's a bunch of old white folk, probably has to do with loneliness and using these protests (riots) as social events.

edit: mental retardation is not appropriate here, it's more like hysterical

trump has made politics a spectacle when it should be boring. give me back boring government that is just there for functioning of society and not involved in every aspect of everyones lives.

Before orange man...
Obamacare
Twin Towers
Impeached
cia prince of darkness
huge national dept
peanut farmer
pardoned the watergate guy
Watergate scandal

...
It has always been a circus.

But it wasn't always recorded in 4k at the press of a button.
It just seems worse, it's always been bad.

Same rate as crime, crime hasn't increased, the world's population has.
More people, More cameras, More microphones.

More tiny screens beaming it into your brain.

Could be that, but we had news back then too, did they seem to always be negative?

Boring and full of beurocracy where out tax dollars get to be spent on luxury hotels for cartels and illegal invaders or billions on many other things that have very little to do with our country or people's needs.

I think as agitating as Trump can be it's a necessary spectacle. As it highlights and uncovers swamp creatures that have been leeching off our hard work for decades possibly centuries.
We need transparency and accountability on all aspects of government audit everyone Republicans and democrats alike. But especially the military and the federal reserve.

We are getting scammed by the people who are supposed to serve us.

your chart only shows 18 years.
Public perception, is just that, a perception.
These things ebb and flow.

Reagan (huge national dept),
he had a famous chart...
