The beginning of the end was the first Bush.

Actually even earlier, when the Reagan team:

- Sabotaged the Iran American-hostage negotiations in order to
cripple Jimmy Carter's election prospects (similar to how
Trump ordered his sycophants to ditch the immigration-reform deal they
had reached).
- Vetoed the Fairness Doctrine.
- Secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran to illegally
fund the Contras in Nicaragua.
- Lowered the tax rate from 73% to 28% on incomes over about $30k.
- Rigged low-income housing bids to favor his Republican donors.
- Did not respond to the AIDS crisis.
- Union busting.

But at least he was affable :-D

They're well on their way to a pile of smoking rubble now.

If you come visit here next year, welcome to New Hungary.
