Trump Supporters Can't Wait to Get America Back

Strong unions built the middle class and made everyone more prosperous. Strong public schools educated everyone, rich or poor.

Unless you were black, when many unions kept us out, developments refused to sell houses to us, and schools refused to integrate... And if they did (by court order), it resulted in de facto segregation via white flight to suburbs that we couldn't live in, and those who stayed refused to hire black teachers at the secondary levels (including my mother) despite being qualified - this all under Truman, JFK and LBJ.

For some of us, the "good old days" are only starting to happen "now", and even with that, forces continue to try to keep it from us. "Liberalism" is good as a theory but it has rarely been applied to all.
