        I think you’re learning the wrong lessons on a few of those. My alternative version of a few, which hopefully go further than what you said.

        • Opposing Racial and Cultural Equity

        Not treating all people as equal in the eyes of the law.

        • Revoking Women’s Bodily Autonomy

        Not respecting bodily autonomy in general.

        • Expanding Excessive Incarceration

        Embracing Prohibition which then imprisoned an underclass.

        • Exonerating Police Violence

        Arming the police as if it was a military unit.

        • Allowing Environmental Toxins

        The promotion of corporate structures over the wellbeing of the people.

        • Eradicating LGTBQ+ Rights

        Not holding human rights as a guiding principle.

        • Encouraging Religion in Government

        Not holding your own stated goals as a guiding principle (separation of church and state).
