Ayn Rand was “a thing” when I was growing up of the 1960s and 70s, though most people today wonder how that was possible.
Here’s an AI summary of what liberals/altruists gave us:
Liberalism has historically driven the establishment of fundamental rights, social safety nets, and regulatory protections in the U.S. Key contributions include the Bill of Rights, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, civil rights legislation, the 40-hour work week, women’s suffrage, and environmental protection laws, focusing on individual liberty and equality.
Fundamental Rights & Freedoms: Promotion of freedom of speech, religion, the press, and separation of church and state.
Social Safety Nets: Creation of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to protect vulnerable populations.
Labor Protections: Establishment of the 40-hour work week, child labor laws, overtime pay, and safe working conditions
Consumer & Environmental Safety: Implementation of the Pure Food and Drug Act and regulations for cleaner air and water.
Public Infrastructure: Expansion of public education and investment in infrastructure.
One might think that this level of idiocy and incompetence would detract from the appeal of the GOP, but Trump supporters don’t seem to mind.
At left we see the cause of Trump’s imminent demise.
We’re OK on the lies and crimes, but we’re not OK on high prices, and though we’re dumb, we’re not dumb enough to believe that prices were higher under Biden.
Btw, people commonly refer to this as “Obama’s deal,” but several other countries were party to it.
It’s a tragedy that this didn’t happen in 2015 when Trump entered the political scene.
