Progressive ideas around race, gender, and immigration are under scrutiny by both the Republican-controlled federal government and Democrats chastened by the loss of the 2024 election. In this modern context, it’s easy to forget how persuasive these ideas once were. In 1995, just 25 percent of Democrats identified as liberal, while 46 called themselves moderate. Twenty years later, a sea change in public opinion had happened: In 2015, 45 percent of Democrats called themselves liberals.
Two political scientists and a researcher found that from 2011 to 2020 the attitudes of Democrats and independents became notably more liberal on racial inequality and immigration.

Nope pushing for racism and perversion will not be missed

Did the Parisians miss the reign of terror?
One thing I won’t miss is the Atlantic paying by the word to drool across the page. This painful word salad makes my hair hurt. Oh the poor electrons. This garbage is unreadable.
It did not show up over night, it will not disappear overnight
They are dead to me.
Just like Al Sharpton in NYC ... after the Tawana Brawley racist hoax ... that almost ruined the reputation and life of an innocent Steven Pagones.
I don't forget.
I’ll miss it like I miss the plague.
Nobody will miss PC or wokeness or the reincarnation of this when they try it next.
"Classical liberals were committed to individualism, liberty, and equal rights, as well as some other important tenets of leftism, since classical liberalism was introduced in the late 18th century as a leftist movement. They believed these goals required a free economy with minimal government interference."The meaning of liberal has evolved through two centuries, as has leftism.
Our Conservative beliefs include individualism, liberty, and equal opportunity rights, along with a free economy with minimal government interference.
