Pretty much what I expect from conservative rightist Republicans: worship of their own doctrines and talking points, eschewing even pretense of logically defending or substantiating their positions and platforms, and reliance on emotionally-stimulating slogans to beguile their (nascent lynch-mob) adherents from thoughtful consideration of said positions and platforms--all served with a heaping helping of duplicity, entitlement mentality and hypocrisy. Next question.

The clearest evidence of our (probably inescapable) decline was when our criminal mis-leaders--on both sides of the aisle--stopped putting any effort into the lies they tell us.

PS: AGAIN, those who vote me into the "uncivil zone" because they dislike the ideas I express merely prove their own ill-considered views have no validity, and that they have no grasp of the concept of "civility".

PPS: this post isn't even BIASED, let alone "uncivil".  The whiny snowflakes vote it down, I'll put it back.
