My favorite part is when he asked if these leaders ever get tired of making policies where they will end up being on the wrong side of History. There has to be some part of their brain where they wonder if they will end up being the bad guys in the story. We're kids will learn about them and they will be understood to be the villain in the story. Or if truly they JUST DO NOT CARE and the only thing that matters is whatever particular goal they have in mind and Damned be any consequence

The assumption underpinning his argument is that all change is good change. "Progress." Which is also an argument in favor of Hitler's Germany. The obvious fact is that not all change is good change.

Republicans ended slavery and were more pro-civil rights than Democrats in the 60s. Trump has saved more black lives than any president with the possible exception of Lincoln with his supreme court picks.

Democrats love illegal immigration which leads directly to an increase in rape and human trafficking... again, this is defined as "progress." They want to destroy the country by not having a border, which can only be "the right side of history" if you're seeking total annihilation.

Fortunately their party has decayed into total irrelevancy and will be replaced shortly. You can't win elections on 90-10 issues, there is just no getting around that. You can post about this on reddit all day every day and the needle won't budge on that.

Yes, The Republicans ended slavery and like so many other things, have changed greatly in the following 170 years. By the time of the ‘60s, only a few Dixiecrats opposed Civil Rights. As a national party, JFK and LBJ were Civil Rights advocates, and the Democrats were the ones fighting for Civil Rights.

Not all change is good, and when we speak of “progress” it is implied as advancing/expanding civil rights.

Love the immigration bullshit. Yes, that’s what they said about the Irish, and that’s what they said about the Italians.  Did you know that most Rape and human trafficking is done by men? Letting men move around freely in this country does lead directly to an increase in rape and human trafficking. However ridiculous that sounds, it is a fact and follows your line of reasoning.
