Newt Gingrich framed his criticism of House Democrats as more than a matter of manners, arguing it reflects a deeper political divide.

From his perspective, the lack of applause for widely accepted ideas signals a system where common ground has been replaced by strict partisan loyalty.

He suggests that such moments, especially when broadcast nationally, reinforce public frustration and the belief that politics is disconnected from ordinary citizens.

This perception aligns with broader public opinion, as many Americans now view the political system as fundamentally flawed or corrupt.

With distrust reaching such high levels, skepticism is no longer limited to the margins but has become a dominant feature of civic life.
