Progressive Era

 The Progressive Era started in 1880's. Women started their own magazines about women specifically and talking about their right to vote. However, the Progressive was fired up by WW1, specifically with the antiwar protesters who did not want America to get involved. Hundreds of them were throw into jail just for voicing their opinions. Today, many antiwar voices are not seen in the media/main stream news. Examples of this are ANTIWAR.COM and The American Conservative.   The writers of these websites have very strong antiwar voices, yet are never seen on mainstream media. The American Conservative website has a lot of talk about the war between Russia and Ukraine. Many people in America think that America should get involved in this war and help give aid, supplies, and troops to Ukraine who is suffering a drastic amount because of this war. Others disagree. They think that America should not get into the war because it does not involve America. Since Ukraine is not apart of NATO, American should not have to get involved in this war. America is in deep debt, decreasing economy, and under a horrible presidency. The Biden Administration announced that the United States will provide more than 1 billion dollars for those affected by the war in Ukraine. "This funding will provide food, shelter, clean water, medical supplies, and other forms of assistance." As humane and generous as this sounds, this will not do well for America. After going through a global pandemic, this amazing country is not in the proper condition to give countries that absurd amount of money. America needs to be focusing on her own basic needs to be able to function properly. Because of these strong antiwar options people want to spread the word to get others on the antiwar side. However, since the democrats practically run the media, you will not see such antiwar opinions anywhere (unless searched on the internet) because the far left is keeping people from seeing these opinions to prevent others from having their own opinions on the war. If it is not pro war/pro Ukraine then that opinion is wrong. The pro war supporters (aka democrats) keep this off of the media to make sure that only their word gets to the people in order to ensure that it is only their opinion that is correct.
