If by progress do you mean rental housing, roads/bridges, computers, food, and gig work? Do we have a shortage of them? I keep hearing about everyday life we've had for generations like it's an earnings report.
I personally understand people wish they were better off, and I do understand the sentiment myself as a middle class, tax paying citizen with a family but in my opinion, people were just told America is bad and horrible and needs fixing, I don't think America is a bad place at all. Those who wanted to get elected just told a lot of people it was horrible and a lot of people bought it.
Whatever issues existed economically, I think the "rip the country apart and tear down the government" approach was the most stupid path we could've taken,,,and here we are.
The USA and other western countries have their issues, but to pretend like western countries are bad places to live... IDK anymore.
