Is there something about the American system such that the FTC is more active/aggressive during Democrat office? Anyone else notice this trend? If it's real what causes it?

Well republicans generally shoot down anything that is pro-consumer at the cost of business profits, even when it's related to consumer awareness or safety, so the only way to get decent pro-consumer rules enacted is when democrats are in power.

That's a weird take.

These rules and regulations have been in the works for some time, so I don't know where you're getting that.

I wouldn't surprise me if this started while Trump was president, but because of time is just coming out now. It would surprise me if it this started in Obama's first term - but it wouldn't be unreasonable to find out it did.
