    30 years ago, people were moving away from sexism, and racism.

    what ? my liberal friend, you’ve been in an echo chamber since birth. welcome to the real world. sun down towns never stopped existing. the glass ceiling never shattered. dropping racist slurs in the company of white friends never went out of fashion.

    you are just too poor to know anyone who isn’t performatively liberal

      Back 30 years ago, there were spheres outside the old boys club and celebrity racket. Naturally, much was done to destroy that. If people had the option to interact with people who aren’t psychpaths, racists and assholes, they choose that option.

      Conservative Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency, and Conservative Ronald Reagan put Sandra O’Connor on the supreme court over more qualified candidates because he wanted a woman on the bench. People were pushing the GOP to make Colin Powell the 1996 and 2000 candidate [he didn’t because his wife was afraid he’d be assassinated]
