Where did you get the Progressive tangent from in that?
When you said (or implied--hard to get definitive about vague comments) that "Trumplicans" reap what they sow, I replied that your conception of reaping was very narrow (i.e. Trump and his treatment of and by the media). Trump is but a tail end of what we're reaping by the Progressive transformation of our system of government from a limited central government to a fairly unstoppable one. The "reaping" is much wider and deeper than Trump and his media squabbles.
I would claim that Trump is the result of failed neo-liberal policies, myself.

We do agree on that but not merely because of failed policies. Actually successful policies have also, and more so, changed this country in ways that led to the Trump "backlash." But that would require a real, in depth discussion, not back and forth, superficial, quips.
And the moniker "neo-liberal" does not deserve the "liberal" portion. Neo-authoritarian would be far more appropriate.
