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.

    the usa was never progressive, its the most right wing country in western world. they just have a veneer of progressivism, which is nothing more than performative or virtue signalling.

    if they did, they wouldnt be caving to every GOPs demands, and now MAgats just to pass a bill. the civil rights was done because they were afraid the people would start getting support from the soviets to push thier agenda.
