Clearly, nostalgia for a time when there were no billionaires, a far more unionized workforce, a top marginal tax rate of 92%, and an electorate that wouldn’t even vote for a dogcatcher who was a twice-divorced open philanderer who used profanity in public.

FDR had a supermajority all 12 years.

I hope smart people are quietly brainstorming how to continue this country if/when the GOP is voted out of power because there's no going back. The destruction is already too overwhelming. It's going to take some very creative thinking and a lot of nerve to do it.
Is there an FDR in the house?

People don't need an excuse to leave the car at home, they simply need the infrastructure to allow it.
More and more people using the Ave. Christophe-Colomb bike lanes as construction progresses and more connections open up!

Really loving the right-wingers that spew violent rhetoric 24/7 suddenly saying that it's bad, or that making fun of Kirk (who also did these things), is bad.
Don't be an incredibly shitty person and people won't celebrate your death. It's that easy.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Wow, this is what livability looks like!
Streets designed for people make it obvious who they belong to. Anything larger than a bike understands it's a guest, not because of signs, but because the design says so.

American car companies love to market their vehicles with 0-60 times and insane horsepower rates, despite those very metrics accomplishing illegal and deadly acts.
People in mature countries are relaxed on a train, looking out the window, while heading to their destination at breathtaking speeds.
