I'm not sure how old you are but I think things really began to change here in the 1960's with Barry Goldwater and the Nixon administration. This is well before my time but from what I've read this seems to be when the tide began to turn.

I'm pretty young 27 years old so wasn't around during Nixon times

Me either, I wasn't old enough to remember his Presidency anyway. It's worth reading up on. Some of the stuff that went on behind the scenes in government were atrocious and laid ground work for much of the shenanigans we are experiencing today.
