Actually, not a badly written column. She manages to keep her viewpoint suppressed below the level of blatant manipulation one has come to expect from journalism.

Candidate Donald Trump got to the highest office in the land with a line that inspired millions of Americans: Make America Great Again. Those four words, Trump once said, came to him as he pondered our nation’s problems. He trademarked it. He put it on hats. He ran on it. And among his supporters, it sparked a hope that our country could return to a time when life was better for them.
But among some of his detractors, that phrase felt like a shot across the bow. It roused no sentimentality, nor hope for a better future. Because the last word of that simple sentence carried with it the full weight of our country’s past, a past in which not everyone enjoyed equal rights, nor equal access to opportunity, nor equal protection under the law. A past riddled with moments of discrimination and oppression and outright crimes against humanity -- moments that resonate more deeply with the American communities they impacted, and ultimately, in part, defined.

The problem is government versus the American people.
ABC knows this, but is decidedly on the side of Big Government.
Yep; sure are. At least according to the scientists and genealogy experts of the world.
If you asked someone in the hood or barrio you might get a different answer.
Galleta!
“Why would you want to turn back the clock?”
That was not hard.
<< Why would you want to turn back the clock?” >>
That a trick question?
I’m dark-skinned Hispanic, am I a crackah?!?
Remember, dark skinned Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is not a real black man.
He cannot be, by “progressive” definition. He is not promoting leftist policies.
The answer to these idiotic questions is that Obama’s stated goal was the fundamental transformation of America. The liberal media are silent about this. Trump’s MAGA campaign is the reversal, the exact opposite, of what Obama nearly succeeded at accomplishing. America rejected Obama’s foray snd elected Trump, and the liberals still cannot accept that.
