Newt Gingrich

I trying to remember a certain event, or individuals, who made a certain decision of focusing heavily on fundraising to win election.

What i am trying to figure out is the moral shift during the 1990s form being "honorable" to doing whatever it took to win. Hopefully, you can enlighten me about this.

Our government reflects our society, so what does that say?

I have done a great deal of thinking. This was the conclusion that i reached. I could no longer fully blame the president, or congress for it's actions, instead the most of the fault(about 50-60%) lies within the American people. To be informed and to vote, it is our duty as citizens of a democracy.

It seems that things are going to get worst. I expect that we will see a increase of polarization, hatred, misinformation, and the degeneration of Respect/tolerance of each other, thus the ability negotiate and compromise which will cripple the government and the country.

Honestly, what is happening now, might be a common thing in the future.

Do you know who were the key actors? and their rationale for their actions?

Form my understanding "the Cost" was extremely high. It develop and spread the attitude of "Gaining power at whatever the cost" which is the Bane of Democracy itself. Form what I understand, democracy carries the attitude of "No man should have too much power", thus power is divided among the people and rules written to stop form one person in collecting all that power.

What I see is that these key individuals have open pandora's box, and started the long race of acquiring "all power", thus causing deterioration of USA's democracy.

Gendermarrying, propaganda, Voter's suppression,Party's loyalty and other techniques used to deny others their use of power and concentrate in the hands of few. Looking at Mitch McConnell and the influence and power he has over the shutdown is just wrong in my eyes. I just wish I was more educated or knowledge to do something about this.
