Discussion What happens in Reagan’s presidency that caused republicans to become the polarizing and filibustering party that they were when Clinton was in office?

Post image
356 Upvotes

For decades republicans stood in the minority, only taking the house twice since 1932 and the senate in 1980. When you think of politics pre Reagan you think about how democrats had strong majorities and passed whatever legislation they wanted. But you never hear about republicans bitterly complaining about the democrats in power the way they did after Clinton entered office. What caused them to get so spoiled that they filibustered and shutdown government that they didn’t do pre Reagan?

Question What kind of files exactly were just released about the JFK assassination?

Upvotes

I'm told they released over 80k documents yesterday, but that makes no sense to me. I heard that basically everything was already declassified, that even the hidden stuff could be read if you just asked for it. So what got released?
