In terms of social change (gay rights, drug legalization, discussions on protecting minorities and women, etc.) and government programs (healthcare reform), would you agree that the 2010's are the most progressive decade since the 1960's?
The people are.
Especially Millenials. (Though, not
Atlas's Republican forum members who are under the age of 25. And not the "Independents" or "Libertarians" who are under 25 and are trying to disguise that they are Republicans. I'm addressing Millenials nationwide.)
Wealthy, white, Republican men—especially from in or around the Baby Boomer period—are the worst sellouts doing their level best to still wield destruction on the have-nots (which include gullible have-not, non-wealthy, white, Republican male—and female—Baby Boomers who voted for John McCain with numbers stronger than George W. Bush and for Mitt Romney with numbers stronger than John McCain).
There are some ways of getting past the obstacles. So, while this isn't "progressive" enough, the changes (such as marriage equality) are necessary and they are progress.
