Well put. It seemed the mid to late 90s was a major change for the political platforms. I don't know if it was out of control change to the elites or if they helped nudged things along this whole time though the Obama's 2nd term was when the gas peddle was pushed harder and after Trump they put on the Nitro pack.

If it was out of control they had to make things up on the spot. I think the computer industry was a surprise and a shock when terrorists were using it in the middle east in the mid 00s so it got governments and internet companies to start cracking down and double down. They had an 'alarm clock' moment in their heads.
