Supreme Court rulings on LGBTQ rights, guns and immigration backed a mainstream movement toward expanding equality, with Trump in a shrinking minority of opponents.
President Trump has aggressively stoked America’s culture wars since taking office but major Supreme Court rulings on Monday suggested — in a season already marked by sweeping calls for police reforms and racial justice — that he’s on the losing side.
The rulings hit an already reeling White House with a thud, further isolating the solipsistic president from a public that is embracing efforts to broaden America’s promise — especially for the LGBTQ community and for Black people.“Donald Trump is becoming an island in his own country,” said Douglas Brinkley, a professor of history at Rice University in Houston. “His views on social justice, race, gender and equality are more and more antiquated.
The slogan, according to Democratic pollster Peter Hart, was “quite simply saying to people who were threatened by change and the world ahead: ‘I’m going to come in and we’re going to reestablish the world you felt more comfortable in.’” Biden called the Supreme Court decision solidifying legal protections for LGBTQ Americans “a momentous step forward for our country” and part of an ongoing pursuit of the ideals enshrined in the Constitution.
