"Not that there was “much,” but a little bit of class and respect in politics. The idea that our elected leaders and representatives hold respect for the offices they hold is all but gone."

"Somewhat related, but the “idolizing” of politicians has gotten so far out of hand it’s ridiculous. I remember when, after the elections were over, people moved on with their lives. Sure, some would complain here and there if something wasn’t being done the way they saw fit, but falling to your knees to worship a politician was almost nonexistent."
