booo, this is crybaby " horseshoe" horseshit.
Persistent incremental efforts directly resulted in wages increasing, expanded civil rights, vacation time increasing, labor laws.
change isn't magic, change takes persistent effort.
theres no such thing as "blue maga", "make America great again" is a delusion that only "reds" are scared and dumb enough to fabricate.
progressives are trying to make America better for everyone, selfish conservatives like you are trying to make it better for yourself.
The idea that there is some yet unknown script, and if you follow it, everything will just be so perfect that nothing will ever need to change again is so laughably naive that I legitimately don't know how to respond to it.
truuuuth
Half of those were won through a literal war
And that war. Did it solve all the problems, or do we require traversing additional increments?
That "war" that lasted one week and resulted in less than 200 deaths was not a spontaneous giant event that came from nothing, it was a culmination of incremental steps and afterwards was a step leading to further steps.
unionizing, employment contracts and organized resistance are the results of persistent, organized effort.
Yes, the idea of violent riots is exciting to people who haven't experienced violence. No, riots are not spontaneous, guaranteed policymaking events.
Just one more revolution, bro! This time it will be different! The new regime won't prioritise its own power over the common good, like all the other ones have done before! Trust me, bro!
