Did Trump Make Everything Progressive?

[Aldo Raine]

Opinion | Did Trump Make Everything Progressive? (Published 2021)

His presidency pushed American institutions to the left. But they were moving that way anyway.

www.nytimes.com

"Instead, his administration’s mix of haplessness and menace was a great gift to progressivism, inspiring an anti-conservative reaction that extended through every walk of elite life, turning centrists into liberals and remaking liberalism into exactly the kind of progressive orthodoxy that conservatives most fear. Republicans got control of the Supreme Court out of the bargain, but in almost every other institution that matters, from Langley to the corporate boardroom, their position got much worse."

Will Trump and (far more importantly, Trumpism) turn out to be a great gift to the progressives? The answer, of course, is "we don't know yet".

But he sure as hell has created a backlash that could be strong enough to do it. Hell, I was concerned about this even before he elected:

August 13, 2016:

I guess it will depend on the fallout from Trump. What these people don't see (because talk radio never mentions this) is that their behavior is making it easier for the Dems to move the country Left. They're so proud of the smoking rubble they can't see the big picture.

May 18, 2017:

My personal nightmare scenario is playing out in real time: Trump is in such trouble so quickly that the Democrat party won't even NEED to go through its badly-needed Reformation. The Regressive Left is now waiting in the wings, licking its chops.

December 18, 2016:

Well, we'll see. For better or worse, it's pretty much on Trump in the short term. If he fucks up, the power in the Dems, the Regressive Left, will be able to grab it all back, every last crumb.

June 17, 2016:

What concerns me is that, in response to him, the country knee-jerks too far.

Progressives created Trump. He wouldnt have been elected without them.

No rightwing nutters created tRump. Ewe know those that believed in pizzagate and the cannibalistic pedophile zombie hoards.

Who admitted to being a cannibalistic pedophile zombie hoard, and why isn't there a band with that name?

 

[GMCGeneral]

I agree. Their excesses motivated and animated his voters. But they won't look in the mirror, because neither end of the spectrum has the balls to do that.

But you will support the Far Left whackjobs of which the entire DemocRAT party is.

In a way yes. But really it was the radical left going over the cliff because of their TDS this last year that showed us all how things really are.

I think this Tweet sums it up best:

Then you don't know my politics.

And your words, "the Far Left whackjobs of which the entire DemocRAT party is", make your politics pretty clear.

While I realize it's not going to thrill everyone, I think that it's mostly a good thing. American conservatism was about to drag us out of the first world

The 3rd biggest doctor in the country is an mentally ill obese tranny.
Orwell couldnt have even thought of that shit.
"drag us out of the first world"

Oh look! Bigotry!

 

[Crepitus]

Of course, people have admitted to it,

To being "cannibalistic pedophile zombies"?

Can I get a link, please?

I have made threads and you cultists ignored it. Threads with all kinds of links.

I'm never really sure whether it is lack of integrity or simply gross stupidity.

There is certainly no shortage of the latter among the sheeple here.

No.
Trump won because the Democrats put Hillary as their candidate.
Trump won because labor Democrats, feeling left out of the Obama admin (rightfully so) voted in Trump who ran on America first.
Progressives may have contributed, but a small part compared to Hillary.

It's a shame that someone has convinced you that other Americans are "the enemy".

That must be a terrible way to go through life.
