In reading about Newt Gingrichs belief and training of the New Republicans in the 1980s that emphasis should be placed on manipulating the perception of what people think is going on vs what is actually happening, and also the tactic change in using terms like, traitor corrupt and sick as a attack strategy against political opponents, I am wondering how much this one (two?) changes in political tactic has generated much of the political rupturing and inability to come to compromises today. The idea that people are getting their power through elevating peoples rage and character assassination rather than actually through the merits of ideological differences for me does point towards a moral downturn in our society.
