    I’d say it goes all the way back to Reagan and almost every single policy he had that weakened the absolute fuck out of average US citizens, while allowing the influence of the rich to grow to insane levels.

      This all goes back to Nixon. When he resigned the Republicans decided hard line fascism is better than losing again.

      Somewhere in the middle.

      It was salvageable up until House and Senate leaders like Gingrich, Ryan and later O’Connell started playing identity and obstacle politics with Democrat presidents in particular. Around 2010 it really accelerated.

        Based on what you’re saying

        tin foil hat applied

        It was accelerated by OBAMA!!!

          Not Obama, just that that’s when Citizens United passed. The same thing that caused fascism in Germany, the same thing that caused fascism in Italy.

            Get out of here with that logical statement! Let the people who caused it blame Obama!
