The return of child labor is right up there with the loss of abortion rights in terms of shocking backslides but people don't seem to care as much about it.

The Gilded Age: 'Returned', or 'Never Left'?
RETRVN to 1890s politics has been the dream of the Bourgeoise for the last 100 years. Now, most reactionary, libertarian, etc. parties usually restrained themselves to Reaganism or a Hong-Kong kind of hellhole, but the United States are setting record low standards worldwide of what's considered acceptable.
Maybe it'll lead to a revival of radical politics, or maybe the doomer in me is correct in thinking we are going to move ever closer to the ancaps' utopia (but with a state to beat up the uppity) with little pushback.
