If it felt uncomfortable to watch on TV as a bunch of Members of Congress act like blind drunk hecklers at a basement comedy show, it felt 10x creepier in the chamber.

What a disgrace. What a terrible example for our kids.

1. When was the last time Republicans didn't do that to a democratic president?

I know they did it to Obama for sure. I was too young to know if they did it to Clinton.

Is this a new thing that republicans do in the last 10 years or so?

Democrats in general respect the institutions, even when they may not agree with the party in power.
Republicans were at least collegial in the 1970s, but certainly not since then. However, the blatant disrespect has become more evident.

Admittedly, Pelosi tearing up her copy of Trump's SOTU speech says that we are not immune to it (even if it felt SO good watching that).

3. They've gotten worse with each election

That escapee from a right wing kennel will be 50 next year. That's going to be a catastrophic event for her.
