That's kind of a word salad there. In 2012 things may have been generally better for women in the USA due to Roe v. Wade standing, and there were more Confederate monuments than there are standing now, and trans people were generally not accepted by society as well as they are now. So I'm not sure what your point was.
The mixture is my point. Some things are better. Some things are worse. I specified for women because the backlash against woke has already hurt women badly.
The republiclowns taking away womens rights and blaming trans and gay people for their problems is much worse now than in 2012. This country lacks education which would solve all these problems, but educated people won't blindly follow fox "news" and as a result there wouldn't be many republicans in office which is why they're doing everything they can along with help from Russia to hurt the education system and keep people ignorant. The result of better education would likely mean we'd step out of third world territory and get healthcare for all, including mental health which would increase the blue votes even more all the while decreasing mass shootings.
That doesn't fly with the rich. Why do you pay more taxes than the rich? Trickle down? How's that working out? They piss in your face and tell you it's a trans persons fault, or an immigrant and the cult gets their pitchforks. It's silly. It's almost as silly as the gop backing a fucking domestic terrorist with 91 FELONIES.
