Progressive change in America is only brought about through institutions when the middle class is threatened. Now the people who voted for Trump may have fallen out of the middle class or feel like they might soon. But Trump is not the one who will bring about the change they want. Only an establishment can. It would be a miracle if Trump realizes this.
Bullshit "Muslim bans" and rounding up undocumented immigrants isn't going to make anyone's life better in the rust belt. I mean where the hell is Bannon's nationalistic infrastructure deal that is supposed to bring about millions of jobs for the disaffected? (in Bannon's mind white people is what he is thinking about most likely). Only political machine guys like FDR, Truman, Ike , LBJ and Nixon get stuff done like that. |

Not seeing Truman or Ike as progressive. The other three definitely. |

And as to where the Hell is it? Trump has only been in office a little over a month. How long was it before Obama got his infrastructure bill passed? |
Quote:
And if he comes through on trade, infrastructure, prescription drug prices, and keeping us out of regime change adventures, he will expand it by at least one more that I know of. :) |

Ike got the freeways done and did work with LBJ on some early Civil Rights bills in the late 50s that pointed the way to the towards what came later. Trump is not self-aware. I mean if you lie to a bunch a reporters about facts a 5th grader can Google in 30 seconds and prove you are wrong you are sort of beyond help. And he probably really believed Obama was born in Kenya. |
Quote:
That was the end of any meaningful progressive legislation. |

He can't pass anything without Schumer, and some of the GOP are nervous with what is going on right now. You forget that some GOP Senators are from moderate states with diverse populations, and others like McCain and Graham are not impressed with the Russian ties. |
