    The liberals I know think it’s pretty off track. Specifically, it fell off the rails when Trump got elected.

    The track switch probably was thrown back in the 2000 election. We all hoped President Obama was gonna get us back on track.

    MAGA wants to revert the us to some racist 1950s version. Violence is basically required to achieve that vision.

    Liberals want to put the US back on track to equality, human rights and a secure future (see SCOTUS, for example of how off track the US is). We just don’t think violence is a good way to do take.

      I guess I wasn’t thinking about it that way, that “on track” could be that Democrats are imagining there was a time when liberal ideals were being actively worked towards. I don’t think that’s really true, but I now see that someone could think that way.
