This started long before Bush, even before Regan. The Left is a disconnected mess, some want to pass anything and call that reform and fix it later. Others want Radical Change (which is what I want) because nothing in this country gets done unless you force it down their throats, you have to make "Change" happen. Everybody on the Right want to kill Reform, weather its Health Care, Economy, Energy, Climate, etc, etc. So this is our time to shine, we need to reboot this health care reform and start over with Medicare For All.

That in response to the successes of the middle- and working-classes throughout 1960s and 70s in Anti Vietnam movement, clean air, clearn water, labor, civil, women's movements, all of which cost the capitalist class dearly from profits and dividends, and which they claimed threatened their "property rights" as enshrouded in the complexities of the constitution. They appealed to the Madisonian principles of the Constitution designed to protect land- and slave-owners from democratic "tyranny of the masses". They have been progressively winning de-regulation and Supreme Court rulings on basis of "property rights", "free-speech", etc, and wrestled media ownership and concentration out of hands of "liberals" to poison our minds, divide us against each other, and get our votes on spurious emotional and politics of fear basis etc for a lot longer than 10 yrs.
