When we look hard at the decline, it's been going on for longer than we thought, but the decline is definitely picking up speed. People just didn't want to notice and kept pushing down the obvious that was happening right under our noses. My godmother repeatedly told me that her father left the Democrats during the Goldwater years. He was an attorney and high up in Democrat circles in Kentucky at that time. He told her that there had been drastic change in the Democrat party and he could no longer be a part of it. Apparently, he was never more specific than that. She would also tell me that schools changed with Dewey. She had an education degree and had graduated in the early 50's. It's always interesting to get perspective from a previous generation.

Correct. For example, the town council of Berkeley CA have been raving woke lunatics since at least 1989, 35 years ago.. This insanity did not happen in a few years, or even a few decades, so why do people think we can restore the Republic and sanity in a few years?

I think it's actually been even longer at Berkeley. H. A. Ironside, the evangelist of the early 1900's had a son who left Christianity for probably 20 years after attending Berkeley. And yes, the restoration process won't happen overnight, but hopefully people will be awakened to the corruption that has existed in our country for way too long.

I' really believe that. The only reason I used 1989 is I can document that from second hand information from the lawyer who represented the Berkeley Town Council. She married a close friend from college, and told me multiple "are you friggin ' kidding me ??" stories .
