Arguably, it's at least in large part the efforts of socialists, communists, and radical feminists that made some of these possible. But decades of vilification in the USA have made them virtually invisible to the general population.

Nothing like propaganda to make people to go against their best interests. I keep having to remember even decades is well after I was born, I can't imagine having the ideals of conservatives. As long as it's functional but there's no cost to not suppressing others, well there may be at some point when we're all on a scorching planet and have to make real sacrifices. Of course the old billionaires will be dead for the rest to deal with the fallout.... hopefully figuratively and not actually like the game.
Vilification that is alive and well here on Lemmy!
Hands up, who hates liberals?!
. . . see? Everyone.
You seem confused. They said socialists, communists and radical feminists. Not liberals.

MAGA women do not want all women to express to those rights.
MAGA women want to control who represses those rights.
... You don't buy a credit card.
A better historical note would be to say .... to have a bank account
I think up until the 50s women couldn't have a bank account in their name, without their husband signing for them or something. Up until then, women couldn't have any money in their name in a recognized bank.
For common women that is ... if you were the ultra wealthy, you could afford to skirt around banking rules ... but as a common woman with a bit of money, you couldn't have a regular bank account of your own.
You’re right except for the year. That wasn’t until 1974 that women could open back accounts in their own name.

Some do have an annual fee...
Between annual fees or interest, most people do directly pay for using a credit cards.
And even if there’s no AF, and you don’t carry a balance so there’s no interest, we all indirectly pay by way of processing fees.
Paying isn't buying though.
Buying is paying for ownership of a thing.
You don't "own" a credit card. Credit cards own you. (Unless you're careful)

Liberalism is not the reason for almost any of these but radicals working against not within the system.
Liberals taking credit for others’ praxis is their praxis.
Or for the system. If the end result is that an election can be won by buying ads then all the work was for the benefit of the rich.

Isn’t that because of progressivism? Liberalism is free markets and small government and all that shit. Stop letting the lib shits claim these wins.

Yeah but their pastor said liberals eat babies. So deal's off.
They are trained from a very young age to obey and never question authority. It's pretty much part of the religion.
...you can have an abortion if you want to not have a baby yet....oh actually you don't have this one anymore.
Optional@fash.world misspelling “radicalism” for “liberalism” is peak liberal Illusory Truth Effect.
Get more radical, law-boot licker.
The problem is that a significant portion of MAGA don't actually want most of those things.
They feel that freedoms are responsibilities. They don't want to think about who they should vote for, or have to have a job or think about credit cards and budgets and bank accounts. And they're not worried about needing a divorce or their husband beating them because they figure "Well I married a good Christian man, that will never be a problem for me."

Okay, but can I renounce them all to own the libs?
Hell yeah! Heck, in Texas this doubles as a yard sign for your candidacy!

LOL liberalism.
American dumb
They don't care and take everything for granted, that's what stupid people do. Also they think 5 min in advance.
See the people who voted for Trump and then were shocked that they or their relatives get deported. Likewise here: "the bad stuff is for other people and not me“ or some version of that.
