I hope you are right...but there may not be time this go-around.

Don't forget the depression between them :/

America was a different country and had an actual effective left with Massive strikes. We can barely get a failing vote for M4A. There is no course correction, just decline

The people get what they deserve not what they demand.

The last Gilded Age didn't coincide with an extinction event... but sure, perhaps the mad max era on the horizon could technically be called 'progressive' in a way.

I definitely notice the seeds of these beginnings.

Marianne, the 'progressive age' didn't just sort of naturally evolve into existence. It was the result of activists and organizers putting in the hard work to show that there was another viable path forward

I hope you're right but unfortunately this time is also the precipice of an unprecedented crises-- climate apocalypse so it may just be too late now especially since we have biden/Harris protecting the status quo & brainwashed VBNW voters defending them when the time has run out

It’s getting awfully late on the timeline for human survival.

The gilded age was also directly followed by the rise of the US imperial empire lol. It’s not an accident that we offshored all of our exploitation under a guise of domestic progressivism lol.
