If you want to understand how American politics changed for the worse, according to moral psychologist and bestselling author Jonathan Haidt, you need only compare two quotations from prominent Republicans, nearly fifty years apart. The first is from the actor John Wayne, who on the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 said, I didnt vote for him, but hes my president and I hope he does a good job. The second is from talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, who on the inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009 said, I hope he fails. *Interesting and moderate, sounds about right, too.*
