yes, feels and vibes beat rationality and science.

Is it any surprise the US is backsliding?

It is funny because we now know that in the 1970s there were far more randos kidnapping people than today. The FBI actually got pretty good at these crimes.

At least today we have a totally competent and sober FBI Director, and an FBI focused on solving actual crimes. </s>

Can't tell if it's backsliding or reverting to the mean :(

probably the same thing, but mine has moral judgment.
