Axios: Trump’s 2025 Moves Seek To Reverse LBJ’s 1965
Based.
Obviously, this is why I am supporting him.
“President Trump has embarked on a systematic effort to unravel Lyndon B. Johnson’s civil rights legacy, rolling back protections that have shaped American life for nearly six decades.
Why it matters: Backlash to the racial justice movement of 2020 has overshadowed a more fundamental, long-standing conservative goal: Turning back the clock on the sweeping societal changes of 1965.
The Trump administration’s aggressive push to reverse LBJ’s signature achievements could radically alter how communities of color confront discrimination in a diversifying America.
“This is not as much about dismantling the policies of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama or Joe Biden,” Mark K. Updegrove, the LBJ Foundation’s president and CEO, tells Axios. “It’s dismantling the Great Society.”
The big picture: Two months into his term, Trump already has overturned, weakened or targeted LBJ policies on voting rights, desegregation, the environment, immigration, education, affirmative action and health care. …
Between the lines: Guiding the Trump Justice Department’s policies is a broad reinterpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on “anti-white racism” rather than discrimination against people of color. …”
I would say it was the JFK-LBJ agenda.
JFK ran on liberalizing immigration laws and supporting civil rights in 1960. This is where the Democratic Party was at in the 1960s.
