That was then, this is now.

The Demoncrats of today are not the Democrats of yesterday.

They are much, much, MUCH worse.

Case in point. Does anyone think that the way Reagan framed the common ground between Republicans and Democrats exists today:
He delved into the substance of his remarks saying, "None of us today need feel any urge, in the name of good will, to downplay our differences. On the contrary, in a certain sense we can be proud of our differences, because they arise from good will itself---for love of country; for concern for the challenges of our time; from respect for, and yes, even outright enjoyment of, the democratic processes of disagreement and debate."
This article, and its premise, is simply empty-headed nostalgia.

No, they’re the same. Just more subtle back then.

“That was then, this is now.”

A mild mannered leader, whose smile conceals the collective agenda. It usually starts with such baby steps, leading soon enough to goose-steps.
