The government under President Donald Trump is bending the arc of US history in a new direction, away from the civil rights focus of the past 60 plus years.

Just 10 years ago the US was still seen as being progressive and racism was slowly becoming a thing of the past… and not even in 10 years all the major civil rights achievements of rhe past 70 years are being thrown out so fast it is making my head spin.

    Yup. This is what Trump voters wanted. They want it so much they were willing to give up everything else. Even more unfortunate for them that they are just pawns for Trump. Most won’t ever realize it.

      Reality is already setting in for some. I see and talk to them in my rural farm area.
