Summary

This quote highlights the shift in political discourse surrounding the concept of regulation. In the past, progressives emphasized the importance of regulation to create a safer, fairer, and cleaner America. However, the term "regulation" has now become a derogatory term in politics. Even Democrats, traditionally associated with supporting regulations, are now inclined to discuss reducing them in order to satisfy Republicans, who strongly oppose regulation with great intensity. This quote implies that regulations have lost their positive connotation and are now viewed negatively or even demonized in contemporary political discussions.
