Is this the most progressive decade since the 1960's?

Perhaps the public sentiment of this modern generation is more "progressive", whatever that nebulous term really means.

I wonder what the first decade will be that is only "mildly progressive" or even "conservative."  I bet the 2020's will be quite liberal with demographic changes and millennials, but perhaps things will finally shift in the 2030's towards a stasis?  Obviously the 1950's-type social policies that I would like in place will never occur, but I really hope we don't move at this fast of a clip continuously.

The Senate has been gerrymandered by the failure to admit D.C. as a state.

This goes way over my head.  My understanding of the term gerrymander conflicts with my understanding of fixed senatorial constituencies. 

Okay, looking at the comment of Del Tachi I see that I'm not the only one who is confused.  I think you might have to explain this one for the benefit of us knuckleheads.

The GOP has its strongest Senate majority since the 1920s and certain posters are trying to claim that they are unpopular/have unpopular ideas. 

Well, the Republicans are unpopular with unpopular ideas. Unfortunately so are the Democrats.
