I don’t think this was considered to be that progressive back then. Identity politics wasnt such a big thing at that point, individual actions weren’t that politicized.
What? As an example of how non progressive the country was, even California, passed a direct democracy amendment banning gay marriage in 2008 and things were not more progressive in the 90’s. There’s a big difference than what left wing writers were putting in 90’s TV than where politics generally were. If it feels like things went backwards it’s because mass media became supplemented with social media where complete idiots can take over the narrative.
Next are you gonna tell me the radicalization that is happening is a both sides thing where people fighting for trans rights and progressive policies like universal healthcare and people throwing a tantrum about what books people are reading or what women can do with their fucking eggs just happen to be on different teams and are part of the same problem?
Your narrative of what went wrong, at least in the US, stopped being cute-in-a-naive-way very abruptly on January 6th.
The difference between then and now is that rightwing fascism became scarier and more openly aggressive. Just because people are more vocal about the violence of rightwing fascism doesn’t make it new.

This is considered too progressive back then.
