Rejecting “The Great Reset”

In the politics of conservative Americans, the term “The Great Reset” refers to their desire to take government and social norms back to some point in the past.  Though it’s unclear exactly how far into the past would satisfy those folks, it seems that a good estimate would be the 1950s, before Roe, the Civil Rights Act, gay rights, and certainly anything remotely resembling “woke.”

As we’re starting to see, however, Americans are rejecting The Great Reset by huge margins in the polls. This appears to be a reaction to the Republican party’s having squirted to the far right over the past few years, especially on issues like a federal law banning abortion, and the alliance with Donald Trump and his attempt to overthrow the U.S. government.

Voters have more affinity for cancer than they do for this level of right-wing extremism.
