  • If you feel this is “dismantled” then you have a long, difficult road ahead of you.

    These are setbacks, not the end.

    Even after all of these setbacks, one would be foolish to think things are worse for these persecuted groups now than in 1971.

    We absolutely can’t give up and let them win with these things they have done, but the fatalism I so often see and hear from people is so disappointing. You don’t win wars by talking about how your opponent has already won.

    We are in a battle in a long running war. It hasn’t been going well lately, at least not as well as it had been. I just don’t think this is all due to hippies in the 60s. 🤷‍♂️


  • Provide evidence, please.

    I agree these things are under attack, but to claim they have been “dismantled” at this point is giving the opposition way too much credit.

    They can try to scale things back, but the Overton has been shifted significantly and people are mad and resisting them shifting it back.

    Now just imagine if we had more cash in our pockets as individual citizens to deal with this fascist bullshit.


  • Religious affiliation is down from the 60s/70s by a lot.

    Tons of liberal wins have happened since: desegregation, affirmative action, womens’ liberation, gay marriage, LGBTQ acceptance, etc.

    Conservatives have racked up decades of losses on their preferred issues.

    However, real wages stalled in 71.

    It’s only now, after 50 years of that that conservatives find themselves with enough control to maybe slide things back their way a little.

    Time to take the wages back.
