    Trump is progressive by that logic because he is dismantling the old ways.

      The old ways didn’t have a system of laws to prevent discrimination and unethical greed. He is taking us back there.

        That’s the very old ways. You can’t conserve them when they are gone.

        Of course one could argue that there has never been a time with a system of laws to prevent discrimination and unethical greed.

          People are alive today that remember the times without restriction very very clearly. Namely the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the following welfare programs that saved or improved millions of lives, politicians on the right want to tear that down.
