This instead of the misleading label ‘Progressive’ they have applied to themselves. Not only implies that if you resist their agenda that you are against ‘Progress’ {whatever the heck that means} but the definition of the word is so vague it could mean almost anything.

The changes brought by Fascism and Communism to Western and Eastern Europe in the 20th century were not "progress". Yet it is the same "big government provides all solutions" mentality.

Our founding fathers sought to establish something different. And the red diaper doper babies hate to see it thriving while the other systems collapse.

Socialism is expansive. Might as well call them "incrementals" as you would "progressive" since that is how they accomplish their goals, "incrementally" (or progressively). But like all progressive systems, it's a ponzi scheme. The promises can not all be delivered and the payments for those entitlements keep going up and those drawing on the system keep raising in number as well.

Exactly, they want to use words that disguise their true intentions and beliefs.

Many like using the word Oppressive instead of Progressive – besides being very similar it is also an honest description of the extreme Left.

As in Oppressive in control over people lives.

But I suppose once the ‘progress’ moniker wears out it’s welcome, they’ll move on to other misleading labels, who knows, they might try calling themselves the ‘Roses and Rainbows’ party, but nothing truthful.
