  • democracies aren’t famous for granting new freedoms to citizens either

    The history of the US has been one of slow and steady increasing of individual freedom. Similar with other democracies I assume.

    Non-land owners can vote, slavery abolished, women’s suffrage, the equal rights act, abolition of poll taxes… Even the right to free speech has generally been expanded over time to include things like porn and anti-war speech.

    US history doesn’t start with Trump’s first term.
