 For at least a decade, Republicans have been purposely breaking American liberal democracy and then pointing and yelling "Look! America is broken!" 
 @2a70c54d They have been for longer, going back to at least Reagan if not earlier. 
 @2a70c54d 
And here, look what Labour have done to your country!
And the damn fools fall for it.
The damn fools.... 
 @2a70c54d 
We are getting that too from our dear hopefully soon to be departed "Conservative" Party 
 @2a70c54d Yes, and as others note, it goes back to Reagan and his University of Chicago economists. They unleashed massive damage. 
 @2a70c54d At least 4 decades. FTFY. :( 
 @2a70c54d I'd say about 40 years.  man, remember when everyone pointed to the VA as a model of how universal healthcare could follow people and be way more effective? and then W defunded it?
