Been a lot more than 30 years. Up until 1968 republicans had always said they had "rather be right than president". They had not won an election in 12 years so they changed in 1968 and with the election of Reagan there was no going back.

Nixon actually did some good. The biggest problem is that Reagan sold the "government is the problem" and "helping the rich is good for us AKA 'voodoo' economics". Then the Tea Party and Gingrich took over in the coming administration.

I always wonder about people who say the government is the problem running for a government office . It seems like they are incapable of GOVERNING because they dont believe governing is a real job

Actually, this group of Republicans are very dedicated to destroy the government from the inside. ThatтАЩs what Project 2025 is all about.
