I hear you, but they use the term because they won’t say “liberal” anymore and have to use “Progressive” instead of socialist/communist.
They weren’t running around calling themselves “Progressives” in the 60’s, 70’, and 80’s, they were liberals.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re all communists/marxists bastids. I use “progressive” only because it highlights the movement’s history going back to the late 19th century. We didn’t get to Charlottesville overnight. It’s been a 100+ year march to destroy our Republic.
