I remember a rep. party that served as a counter weight to things going to the left field foul pole,that praised family,strong defense and while favoring the rich weren't belligerent to those in need or well earned social sec. benefits,many had genuinely respectful relationships and worked in bi-partisan spirit to move the country forward.Meetings out of chambers were held at Washington restaurants and lounges to iron out deals between the parties.Now,racism,anti immigration,anti social safety net,anti defense,anti govt. agencies and that is the moderate reps.,the far right,outright hate,blatant lies and disinformation peddling and social media death threats.
