The last nail in the coffin was the Trump aligned QAnon conspiracy.
This toxic influence pedals lies and hate against left-wing politicians and homosexuals.
It is associated with Neo-Nazis and Evangelical Christians.
And it was largely responsible for the attack on the Capitol building on January 6th 2021.
The fact that Trump and prominent Republicans supported the insurrectionists has outraged Americans and led to people deserting the G.O.P. en masse.
They went too far.
And it backfired.
Now the Democrats have bipartisan support for their policies and the insurgents are being investigated and charged by the F.B.I. and the C.I.A..
So now we have come full circle.
But there is one major difference - the non-violent Hippies and Baby-Boomers were innocent - but the violent QAnon conspirators are not.
It's the difference between love and hate.
