I'm not reducing anything, and your quoted act was nearly 100 years before the campaign I was referencing.
Believe it or not, but you can point out societal pressures without ignoring the work of individuals. But you're a Trump cultist, so I expect that level of nuance is above you
Let's take the content of your post at face value. Is opposition to affirmative action a position unique to Trump? His supporters? Did he bring it to relevance in the last 4 years, or in the last 10? Or has opposition to affirmative action been a long-standing position among a broad swathe of the American public? It's a rhetorical question, which leads one to wonder why your immediate response is to start screeching about "cultists" like a simpleton. You lack the general self-awareness required to see that you are the mirror in true form of the "cult" you spend so much time ranting about.
It's interesting to note that a good number of the posters on this forum (some conservative no less), show a remarkable level of nuance when it comes to Trump. They have the intellectual force, as low as that bar is, required to judge the situation on a case by case basis. By contrast, have a frustrating need to simplify the world to fit into a narrow, simplistic worldview filled with moral, intelligent liberals and evil, dim-witted conservatives. It's not a particularly bright take.
