Trump Is Losing the Culture Wars

September 23, 2021 at 3:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Leonard Steinhorn: “This does not mean that a path to a more liberal America is inevitable or will be friction-free. Trump’s damage to our democratic institutions could be massive especially if he and his supporters in Republican-run states continue to interfere with elections and voting rights. And his impact on the courts and fights over manufactured issues such as critical race theory and transgender athletes may delay changes, or make them more difficult to enact.”

“Yet, the ‘age of Reagan’ taught us that those who shout the loudest about a world that’s passing them by may not be the ones wielding the most influence when it comes to the social and cultural metamorphosis that will reshape our lives and country in the years and decades ahead.”
