26. Yes, it has always been that way.
People in the United States remain in a conservative stupor until something hits THEM over the head. They have little empathy for others, but when it affects THEM, they see the light.

Once that happens we get a progressive era, which soon starts to fade as what has affected THEM gets solved. The conservatives then jump to the fore by blasting progressive policies that help others, but not THEM.
