Why does the future always have to be liberal?

[Joey1996]

Future represents progression in every aspect, including social and economic issues. It's why we have 8 hour work days and anti discrimination laws.

It's not, the south was far more reactionary about slavery in 1860 than it was in 1800.

Yes, circumstances such as the Northwest ordinance and isolation of slavery in southern states, or Germany losing WW1 can hinder the process... but most societies progress in periods of prosperity.

The US was more conservative in the 80s 90s and 00s than 30s 40s 50s

For whom? My great grandparents were sharecroppers in the 1930s ffs.

He doesn't mean civil rights. He means economic policy given his track record.

Ah Yes, he's a Reaganite, he thinks Hitler was a socialist

Civil Rights arent a left right issue


There were many conservatives who were staunch supporter of Civil rights, while their were liberals who opposed it .

Hey guess what? Economic policy plays a huge role in civil rights

It’s pretty simple. Young people tend to be liberal, and old people tend to be conservative. Pundits predict the old conservatives will die out and the young liberals will overtake the voting landscape. Said young liberals get older (wiser?) and become more conservative. The young liberals of the previous generation become old conservatives, and their children become the young liberals. Rinse and repeat.

Reagan did better among younger voters than older voters

Reagan was hated in urban communities, only won 9% of the black vote in his 1984 landslide..less than Bush Jr. in 2004. Why do "Reagan Republicans" continue to push his disastrous economic plans?
