this nation isn't the country I thought it was growing up

But we are talking about government working towards the common welfare of all. When both political parties worked together on major issues.

Name when any of that was occurring.

Anyone growing up post Regan really might not remember the optimistic outlook of the Eisenhower and Kennedy era's.

Outlooks aren't policies. Even worse, if the outlook was optimistic for WASP right wing men who were heterosexual, it was so pessimistic for anyone else that the proper term for their outlook would be 'grim.' Because it was.

progress was made because both political parties weren't a collective of clowns.

No, it happened because Democrats had such overwhelming control of Congress during most of the years postwar to raygun the traitor.

Welcome to reality.
