I say this country wants to return to the shape it was founded in an openly racist, sexist, oligarchy. Every time this country makes progress it never seems to last.
Greed. Post Civil War industry owners made a mint on the war and decided supporting civil rights didn’t pay. The Republican party ( the liberals) eventually was usurped by greedy businessmen. And here we are today, greed and self interest. This is abbreviated of course.
The first turn in the Republican Party came when LBJ passed the voting rights act. The Republicans began attracting white southerners. As the Democratic Party became more urban and multi-cultural, the Republican Party attracted more working class whites. Trump finished the transformation.
