The elitist left took over the party during the Obama years.

I am so glad to see another person that has the same feelings I do. The focus on the left these days is often times "helping" people that either don't want our help. There are thought of as ignorant by many of those they supposedly are rallying for.

It's a gradual thing that occured as the younger generation got more coddled and in need of their safe spaces. Whereas it used to be the liberals wanted completely free speech and the republicans were the ones wanting to censor things, now it's the opposite. The two sides can't help but remain polarized because that's just how politics works.

The left has gotten more radical because they believe their own propaganda and run off emotions, and with Trump in office poking fun at them it has them in a fuming rage. It's all well and good if they are out there attacking and slandering and being aggressive but when a republican does it to them, when republicans typically cave like a bunch of beta males, well they can't handle it and just go nuts.

Certainly with the New Deal. Maybe even with Woodrow Wilson. But it was kept quiet until 1968. By then it couldn't be kept secret anymore.

The internet has to do with it also.

BOTH sides have significant portions of their base who exclusively hang out in their respective camps. It becomes an e-peen size contest to be the most conservative or liberal.

Do you expect people to believe they are putting a gun to your head?

Assuming your claim was true, it must be still true today, under conservative rule, since we still pay taxes.
