How far America has fallen

To be fair, I don't think NY has "fallen" like a lot of the rest of the US has. They did just elect Mamdani after all!

The 90s certainly weren't the best time, measured in absolute terms of social justice, but I'm inclined to think they may have been the time of the best trajectory. It seemed to be a time in which one would say "Hey, you can't hold that backwards attitude anymore. This is the 90s."
