I'm still surprised and amazed at how many people support president Tramp. Certainly, it's not 50%, not 40% that believe Tramp's bullshit. I don't follow polls much, and Americans ARE that stupid (our schools lag behind the developing world), but the majority of this country can't be, just can't be that silly.

I think you are correct - progressive values are inevitably going to win. Case-in-point: the state of Michigan has some very regressive politicians, who are in power due to Gerrymandering. We have 3 proposals on the ballot. In summary:

Proposal 1: Legalize recreational marijuana [I'm predicting it will pass; we already have legalized medicinal marijuana]

Proposal 2: Establish an independent citizens redistricting commission [I'm predicting it will pass, because... FUCK GERRYMANDERING]

Proposal 3: Voting Rights Policies Initiative [This proposal will make it easier to vote in my state. This one might have a tougher time passing because of the right-wing FARCE/MYTH of voter "fraud", even though every study in the history of this country shows minimal-to-no (<.001%) voter fraud]

So even though our Michigan politicians are ass-backwards, regressive, worthless, old white men, the people still have the will and the ability to amend our constitution, and we will, until the crusty old white men try to take that away from us.

Speaking of which, this has happened many times in the past decade, and each time it happens, I become angry: http://www.michiganradio.org/post/lawmakers-lansing-back-referendum-proofing-controversial-bills

The politicians in Michigan are criminals. So what else is new? How else do you end up with a Flint Water Crisis?

Of course those who fear change and want things to remain as they are mount a backlash, it's normal....but eventually the world moves on...women couldn't vote since forever and then they could....children of nine were forced to work and then they weren't....people had to work 60 hours a week and then 40...the Progressive agenda ALWAYS wins in the end...if it defeats a backlash is due to how prepared progressives are to meet the backlash...even there, even though we may be slow to respond, when we do, we win yet again...
