In a Republic, actually
'As Theodore Roosevelt was launching his crusade to reform a stagnant government and corrupt business elite in the 1890s, he made it a test of national strength: “Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world-powers? No. The young giant of the West … looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.”

Roosevelt’s Progressive movement rescued “Gilded Age” America from a predicament a bit like what the country faces today. Freewheeling capitalism in the 1890s had created gross inequality, rising anger among workers and a swamp of political corruption. Though Roosevelt was a wealthy Republican, he admonished a friend, “I do not believe it is wise or safe for us as a party to take refuge in mere negation and to say that there are no evils to be corrected.” He demanded change.

A recent Rand study argued that Roosevelt’s reform movement was a case study in how “anticipatory national renewal” can avert decline. “That is precisely the challenge that faces the United States” now, the study argued, when the country’s “competitive position is threatened both from within … and outside.” People across America agree something is wrong, and this year, voting for Donald Trump was a way for millions of Americans to register their discontent.
[…]
My big worry is that many Trump voters want to move the country backward rather than forward. Exit polls found that 67 percent of them thought America’s best days were “in the past,” whereas 58 percent of Harris voters thought they were “in the future.” Rather than Progressive politics, Trump’s movement represents what might be called Regressivism. Or, as his slogan puts it: “Make America Great Again.”'


Trump voters want to move the country backward to an idealized past that never actually existed – a past far from ideal for millions of Americans.

Moving the country backward will do nothing to address an America that is today suffering from “Freewheeling capitalism [that] created gross inequality, rising anger among workers and a swamp of political corruption.”

Too late for all that shit now, Harris lost.

So you're trying to tell us that the staff at the compost is criticizing their boss, AGAIN?

It's called restoring the country, not moving it backwards.

Let's be honest here, calling them "regressivists", which is just a white liberal ebonics terms, is your cute way of calling them garbage. They were smart enough to beat the highly-educated blue state smurfs and it still stings for you that your historic super hero Biden-Harris team screwed you over. I get it. Thing is, if you want to come back from your beat down, you need to listen to normal people and not the wokest of the woke.

BTW, America isn't suffering from freewheel capitalism. It is suffering from the never-ending transfer payments the left are making to and on behalf of "the poor" that are structured to keep poor people poor and hide the fact that these deadbeats are now getting $50K a year worth of other people's money spent on them tax free.

Trump voters = MAJORITY of US voters. Clayton is part of the anti-Trump CULT.

His son was Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. landed at Normandy at Utah Beach.. He died on 12 July 1944 of a heart attack. When my wife and I visited the Normandy, we saw his grave site.
 
Majority of US voters who voted.

Are you trying to say the only reason you lost was because Democrats didn't turn out? Whose fault is that?

Apparently some Democrats are smarter than I thought they were. Why would any Dem vote for another four years of Biden/Harris?

I've met many of those deadbeats. Trust me, you don't want them working for you. In fact you don't want them anywhere near you.
