Yeah, recently the phrase "Your body, my choice" has been trending, in MAGAstan which is a power flip from the earlier feminist slogan "my body, my choice" having to do with abortion rights. This meme says "not your choice to make, making it a feminist slogan again.

It's obvious from context but not explicit. Now it's explicit. Some that can help put things in perspective.

Rockwell-esque is a great way to capture it. Like one of the old Saturday Evening Post magazine.

Paradox of tolerance dude. "This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945), where he argued that a truly tolerant society must not tolerate those who promote intolerance."

But actually committing to do something substantially FDRish for the working man isn't an easy sell within high level Democrat party leadership. I don't know why this is true exactly but I expect it has to do with money and power.

Not wrong but not nuanced enough. Many Americans also believe in the ideas embodied in the Constitution and bill of rights. Many voted for the candidate who more strongly embodied those values. Just because the vote system is winner take all doesn't mean that there aren't Americans who are upset with this outcome.
