Racism & sexism is just as bad today. People just voted for a senile, twice-impeached adjudicated rapist & convicted felon rather than a qualified non-white woman, just because he was a white man. DEI has basically been made illegal by executive order.
In the 70s, women had Roe v Wade, & bodily autonomy. We had the beginnings of affirmative action & DEI. Now it’s being dismantled. I don’t see how anyone can think we’re in a better place now. Now it’s legal to force a 10 yr old girl to give birth to her rapist’s baby, putting her own life at risk.
Well, I agree with you there. It’s never been glorious. It’s always been a struggle. It’s just that I saw we were moving forward back then, whereas we are racing backwards right now. Even in the 1930s, people believed in science & understood the polio vaccine was a good thing. We’ve become dumber.
You're not alone, of course. We've all been duped. The first time around we couldn't believe it could be so bad, and now this. I really never thought we would be living this. And like you said, I thought we were on our way to something better. And now it's as bad as it could possibly be.
