This remains the crux of the problem. Prior to the election of Ronald Reagan, the government tended to care for the more vulnerable In our society, however, before the middle of the 70's, the New Deal was still in force for the most part. That changed under Reagan.

The real culprit was Reaganism! The gradual decline of the New Deal since around the early 1980's weakened the strength of unions born during or right after the Roosevelt Era between approximately 1950-1964.

Under Reagan, spiritual father of Trump, citizen's oversight committees were eliminated, unions were weakened, corporate heads were for only the second time in US history since President Taft, given carte blanche over the rights of workers.

And then people wondered out loud why so much ungovernable violence in America?

This permissiveness is a reaction to the ultra-strictness of the pre-Civil Rights Era, period.

Imperfect as JFK was, the peace corps and nuclear test bans weren't the absolute worst things in the world.

However J. Edgar had other ideas which is why he had the president snuffed out!

Plus that poor bloke's desk was moved into the corridor of his office when he arrived for work one morning. The boss simply told him he'd been let go and shrugged the whole thing off, prompting the worker in a fit of understandable rage to grab a heavy stamping machine near the desk and beat his boss' brains in, thus killing him!

A young lawyer named Rorke took the case and got the fella off, claiming if this man's on trial, so too should America stand trial as well for forcing him into such circumstances.

Ever since the late '80's, labor's gotten weak...VERY weak! Just ck.out Michael Moore's "Roger and me".

Five years into Reagan, things were already getting dicey for the average office worker as never before. There was a news report of a middle-aged fellow around fifty in 1985 who arrived one morning to find his desk moved into the corridor

Trump has been trying to undo the past sixty years or so of the Civil Rights movement, including women's choices over their bodies. The man's surely no better than Biden, flawed as Biden was in his own way.

Last week, Trump referred to Somalis living in Minnesota as "garbage" who "contribute nothing to American society." If that ain't the pot callin' the kettle black! What has Trump "contributed" to American society except solely to enrich the top one percent and the heck with.the rest?

Trump's out of touch with the common man, while at the same time being himself as common.as they come. Not once have I heard a "My fellow Americans...". or similar exhortation ever from his lips.
