The progressive time ended when LBJ bought the black vote and Nixon brought in the racist vote. There were just more racists and elites than there were workers and minorities. Republicans became more dominant. It was close. There was a see saw as we sought a balance between punishing minorities and giving advantage to workers.
Now in 2020 we have people believing more in the existence of violent racism among the police, and demanding it end to it. We also have Trump being Trump, and for good reason an at least temporary bunch of blue votes. The question is if it will be long term. Has the reduction of the racist vote become permanent? Will the progressives become dominant again?
Time will tell. Will putting in the blue agenda allow the blue to keep their temporary advantage? I would guess yes, but we will see come the mid terms and beyond.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
