Again- it appears that, for both Leftists and anti-Leftists, that there is this common mis-perception that everything which has been changed in the last 8 years is all just going to roll back, and all the people that fought for it are now all of a sudden going to just disappear. We see this in statements like the above, and we see it in all of fear from marginalized communities in the US. Like- the good days of bulldozing change is over, so lets everyone get into the time machine and lets go back, I suppose to 1950. It's all over, it was nice while it lasted, but I guess we have to retcon history now that Trump was elected.
But- Nothing Changes, Nothing reverses. We are never going back. The gains of the people will be defended and they will be expanded. The left-liberal hegemony isn't failing. Not with the unpopular election of Donald Trump- He won the electoral College, but he lost the popular vote. The GOP retains the majority in the House and the Senate, but they lost seats in both, and their majority will be smaller when they reconvene than it was before the election. And a host of progressive ballot measures on marijuana reform and minimum wages passed across the country, which seem to point to the fact that people like progressive politics, even if they don't like progressive politicians. More people stand against Trump than stand for him, for whatever reason. The pro-Trumpsters are still in the minority, of the electorate and of the society, so...
If the forces of regression think we're going to let them have this, they got another thing coming, because they didn't win shit, except the right to call one of their own "Mr. President".
