Actually, it's been going on since at least when TR betrayed his country to keep Taft from winning and allowed one the nation's worst presidents, Woodrow Wilson to win. The nation has been run by globalists ever since.
Good point...my reference to the Carter era is based on my paying attention to politics (for the first time), as a member of the military, and watching Carter undermine our country at every opportunity. From that point on I watched as the left continued to sell us out non-stop whenever they had a chance!
