Starting out, the earliest progressives were known as "Georgists" - that is, Henry George and the publication of the book Progress and Poverty.

Well, they can't really honor the man who really deserves the credit today because his name is also George. George Soros. Perhaps they could use his real name and call themselves Georgyists. Maybe Soroists?

It could be the De-Maoists (cultural revolution nutbags).

George Soros or George Orwell.

Either is appropriate.

“The Compassion Party”

Bingo! That captures it perfectly, and is so ironic. They should be called :The Party of Self-Righteous Hatred and Hypocrisy”. That would at least be accurate, if somewhat long.

“Regressives”

Maybe, just maybe, “Regressive, Adolescent, Psychotic Scu&bags”

might be a good start.

IMHO

Those mindless minions of media should proudly call themselves "The Bag o' Glass Party".

Best of all, the “Compassion Party” sounds smug.
Liberals like smug, thinking their overconfidence in a lie will end all opposition.

It doesn’t matter what word they choose - in time the word will become unacceptable... Why? Because their ideas are unacceptable and after a while the word will be associated with them... Then on to a new name... and another and another...
