In the 90s, political pundits moaned about it being an era of oppressive political correctness. They sincerely believed that it "couldn't get worse" and that they were on the front lines of a "return to normalcy."
Let me remind you that in the 90s, we were debating why calling Asians "Chinamen" or "Gooks" was racist, finally eliminating the continued use of the phrase "negro" from certain holdout regions, such as the deep south, and debating whether homosexuals should be actively persecuted in the military, or simply tolerated, as long as they NEVER speak about their lifestyle, while a large plurality of Americans at the time believed homosexuality was inherently immoral, let alone being transgender.
My questions are, then,
>What the fuck happened between then and now, to make the "progressive" opinion in the 90s literally be worthy of being called "far-right" today, to many of today's "progressives?" If that continues, will progressives in 20 years also call this period "far-right?" When do the wheels of the progressive train stop? When do they say, "we've made progress, we have the bedrock of a fair society, now let's cultivate it; AKA, the transition to conservatism?

Progressivist Leftism tends to be more apt to continue rocking the boat, in a mostly unending cycle, instead of cultivating their own brand of conservatism for the future. I suspect most leftists don't actually see it that way, currently, but I'm inclined to believe Progressivism works in cycles of creating and promoting instability in order to stay relevant and come up with a cause.

My point is more anyone who expects us to go back to how things were 20 or more years ago is living a fantasy.

That's right. You can't simply turn back the clock. You can tear it down and rebuild, but what fool would build on the very same foundation that caused it all to topple? It'll be a new foundation, some sort of synthesis similar to how natsoc envisioned itself being a third position transcending the dichotomy of capitalism or socialism. Or it will be a far, far older foundation.

It is certainly no simple matter, but it is definitely possible to accomplish over a certain period of time. The left seems to have little faith that their Obama-era ideals will survive Trump's presidency, and quite often, hysterically so. I think they are not giving themselves enough credit for embedding a more difficult system in government for conservatives to handle, on many fronts.

The jews pushed the dildo too far and too fast. But don't fret, the backlash is already coming and once the normies get on board it's over for shlomo.
