Yup, progressive politics in the US has been an exception not the rule. After about ~30 years we are just going back to business as usual. People forget segregation and women not being able to have their own bank accounts and abortion being illegal (the first time), is not something from ancient history.

These things are all true. But the history tended to go the progress direction. Slavery was abolished, so was segregation, women got more and more of their rights. Things were gradually and often painfully getting better. Now it regresses.

It’s going to take us at least a couple decades to get back on track. At that point I’ll be near retirement age. Yeah history progresses, but for me it’s over.
