“Most Powerful Person EVER” Piers Morgan Debates American Empire With Historians
"I think the election of Donald Trump showed that there was a portion of the population that thought no that was the really the wrong direction. We didn't want racial equality and we didn't want gender equality and we needed to roll the clock back. And the fact make America great again is really just make America 19th century again."
Professor Roy Casagranda argues that Trump's election represents a deliberate rejection of progress on racial and gender equality made in the 1950s-70s. He characterizes the MAGA movement as fundamentally reactionary, seeking to return America to 19th century values rather than building on civil rights advances. The analysis suggests a fundamental cultural divide over America's direction at its 250th anniversary.
