I’m not sure I’d say it’s exact, but some of the political norms you’re describing appear to have been extremely short-lived. That’s not to say we shouldn’t try to get them back or rue their loss.
Machine politics with power structures like in Tammany hall seem to have been popular for quite a while.

I disagree. They have been around for many decades, if not centuries.
Never heard of things like people heckling during the State of the Union Address until recent modern times, etc.
Politicians are no longer following a lot of the unwritten rules that they used to.
