Every president who took office after FDR had a federal government that was substantially more powerful than the federal government was in the 18th or 19th century. No president could change that. Trump didn’t change that and didn’t try. It’s not a question of being progressive. Everybody who takes office lives in the world the progressives Wilson and FDR created.
True
Reagan and Trump have worked to reverse the Progressive order, to some extent.
Trump's Supreme Court picks have a chance to move the needle.
Roe v. Wade, New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, these well be telling decisions in the next six weeks.
