Or could it be that we see policy enacted which tangibly DOES in fact make our lives worse, our community run down, and our family less safe? Why is it that in the 50s you could leave your front door unlocked without fear of someone stealing your stuff or harming your family? The country has gotten significantly more progressive since then. Would you feel safe doing that now? In big cities (overwhelming progressive) people are advised to leave their car windows down so that anyone trying to break in won't shatter the window. In those same cities homeless encampments, open drug use, and relieving oneself in the streets has become the accepted norm. Call me crazy, but I liked it better the way it was before.
Not all change is good, and not all conservation is bad. That seems to be a sentiment we've lost sight of.
You are just proving what I said.
Cool, thanks for engaging with my points and not giving a lazy response. Appreciate you.
Not gonna engage about these topics because this is psychological position of whether society becomes better or not and whether we can improve society. I often see that conservatives focus on one or two points and ignore the forest behind the trees. Are there examples of bad laws? Sure. Does it prove anything except for the need of better governance? No. But since it is psychological position, there is no way to convince conservative to become liberal (and the other way around) in a couple of posts. It is like discussing validity of religion - pointless.
You seem to really like the word psychological...
