I guess the only thing that can be constructed as "liberal" (if you have a shallow enough view of liberalism) was the decay of moral norms as evidenced by (but by no means limited to) Clinton's rampant perversion. PROGRESS Smiley

Compare public attitudes toward homosexuality and marijuana in 1989 and 2000.
indeed...interracial couples too....especially that one specific coupling that really bothers some people so much.  Probably dozens of other, less obvious things too.

OK, fair enough. The country moved to the left on ~culture war~ issues in general - in the good as well as in the bad.

Any examples of this "decaying of moral norms" in the 1990s?
(As for Clinton, Presidents have been having affairs since the very beginning. It's not like JFK or Harding were paragons of virtue...)

At least he did more to hide it.
