Republicans and Democrats worked together back then too.

Yeah on the West Wing. Never in real life or on anything meaningful.

They at least tried to keep up the illusion of working together or even at all, but we all were suspicious of politicians in general and in a way much more unified under that general distrust.

Politicians, lawyers, and used car salesmen. That was like the sitcom staple of who to compare a character to in order to really drive home how dishonest they were. Now politicians have weaseled their way into our culture with this bizarre kind of mass tribalism that feels like drunken fans of two rival football teams tailgating too close to each other.
