Republicans= congratulations on your electoral victories.
Democrats= if you are a progressive, take heart. Change continues even under Republican election victories.
* One hundred years ago, Republicans were in power in 12 out of 20 years between the change and transition years of 1900-1920 (and they were in power after 1920 as well, of course). Nevertheless, social policies opposed even today by Republicans were enacted by society.
* Forty years ago, with Republican president Richard Nixon in power, American society still saw civil rights victories, peace-anti-war victories, and gay, environmental and feminist movements WIN big victories.
As Americans and American media continue to wrongly focus on elected leaders, keep in mind - -
The lesson: the transition to the 21st century proceeds regardless of elected leaders. It would be helpful if our leaders moved us more quickly along of course......
