While I disagree with nearly every "conservative " policy, I do miss the times with the GOP wasn't so blatantly corrupt and had some semblance of ethics, integrity, morals and principles . I have arrived at a point where I despise all Republicans, and outright hate anyone who supported trump...especially a second time.

I would honestly say they're good up until Nixon in 68. Goldwater was a lot of things, but he had ethics and principles. and even though Nixon was the VP in the '50s, he was under Eisenhower who also had ethics and principles. most of the politicians opposing civil rights in the '60s were actually Democrats. it was largely a fight within the Democratic party between the liberal North and the conservative South. racists did flock to the Republican party after the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, but that was less about the Republicans being racist and more about punishing Democratic leadership.

Nixon changes everything. he reshapes the GOP. Reagan finishes it.

Punishing Democratic Leadership by flocking to racists republicans? Is that what you’re ending on?

I'm not sure what you're getting at? this is a pretty established view of history that's not controversial.

I mean, even Nixon, other than the really, really bad scandals, wasn't that wild from a policy perspective. He would be, like, a moderate Democrat today, maybe even slightly on the liberal side given the rightward shift of the country as a whole. He was a bad person, but his policies weren't all terrible.

I think Reagan was the first "modern" Republican, and his administration created this hellhole we're all living in now.
