      Trump is progressive by that logic because he is dismantling the old ways.

        The old ways didn’t have a system of laws to prevent discrimination and unethical greed. He is taking us back there.

          That’s the very old ways. You can’t conserve them when they are gone.

          Of course one could argue that there has never been a time with a system of laws to prevent discrimination and unethical greed.
