      It’s probably true that Reagan and his cronies started this - especially with their instrumentalization of supposedly “Christian values”. But I’m referring more to the direction of “politicians” who no longer compromise at all if it doesn’t serve their personal power interests. It seems to me that this has only become really popular among conservatives since the Tea Party movement. Could be wrong tho.
