As a borderline libertarian/conservative… Most of the people in my HS hated DC, as Clinton was in the White House — sadly, while Bush hasn’t been nearly as bad as Clinton, he still betrayed every conservative that donated money or voted for him — and having people like Pelosi and Reid to deal w. doesn’t help. Much of it is propaganda — FDR was a nightmare for the country, but was beloved because of the massive propaganda machine built around him.
The Constitution has become little more than toilet paper to both parties, and SCOTUS — frankly, I don’t see that changing in the next election. Our population is fine, and our underpinings are fine, but we have failed miserably in the maintenance of our liberties.
