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. |
Quote:
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. :) |
Quote:
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. |
Quote:
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. |

I'd venture to say that the executive order creating the EPA signed by Dick Nixon was progressive. Sadly under Orange Julius and Pruitt this agency is under attack. :(
|
The whole country is under attack by Bannon and Co.

As for the middle class, they are the ruling classes insurance policy against them being put to the Guillotine. The ruling class knows that most people will accept the status quo if they are allowed a few crumbs from their table. Take yourself. You would never revolt against the status quo as long as you have your navy pension, tricare, and a cushy government job. You've been paid off. That's why you are a supporter of the same shit, different day corporate Democrats. Take those away and you would become a so************************t overnight. |

If you read between the lines of your posts you are just pissed off that you have to pay for some parts of your care. A real progressive would shut up and pay their bill and be happy that others who can't got the Medicaid expansion. Like I said call your Congressman if the family glitch is hurting you or get a part time job for the money you need. Yeah I do have it easier. Perhaps I made better choices than you. |

I have it pretty easy these days. :D I do have a few regrets though. They mostly involve chicks. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWLG7OQCuFo |

The army was one of the first establishment organizations to support, albeit subtly, the cause. |

You on the other hand get all feisty and defensive when I point out the fact that you are on it too. What's the prob Ice? You feel guilty?:) |

Trump is indeed an exception. He has to make the leap to the assembly line. He embraces the establishment or becomes neutered. The only difference now is that he may keep his position because Americans might not care if nothing gets done. |
Quote:
Bannon may be a pit bull, but Trump is the Ultimate Alpha Dog. |
