An interview with Ivan Koloff, Legendary Great
Dysfunctional.
In what ways?
Two ways:
(a) politics no longer rewards accomplishments, getting things doesn't matter any longer.
(b) politics incentivizes bad behavior; criticizing, obstructing, etc. - both parties - seem to matter more than governing.
What was the inflection point for this modern era?
I think it Started with Bush 43. I observed that he was perceived by those on the left as 'evil'.
Think WMD in Iraq. There seemed to be a trend of identifying the president as 'evil'.
An evil enemy justifies any action - lying and personal attacks at a minimum.
