The death of federalism under Lincoln, when these united States became the United States, and an illegal military action against the states, set into motion the forces that are destroying our country.
It was Nixon who implemented wage and price controls, established the EPA, OSHA, Clean Air Act, minimum tax, normalized relations with China, abandoned POWs and MIAs in Vietnam and was the first president to spent more on welfare than defense.
JFK, who was to the right of both Bush's, was just another milestone on the road.
As long as we were we, we could go back and forth, have ebbs and flows, historical cycles, and change within our own nation and people, but JFK’s election led to the left totally taking over all of the government and the passing of his immigration laws to replace the American people, we will never recover from that, and we already don’t recognize but traces of America even now, already America has been largely permanently erased and put away.
