Works for me. Progressive Republican = Democrat.
Progressivism is centralized government, an evolving view of the Constitution that means it really means nothing, a welfare state verging into socialism and then full fledged marxism, and, in order to enforce its dictates, an erosion of freedom that leads eventually to an obedient semi-slavery for the citizens.
The GOPe are progressives. Democrats are now fully progressive. In the past, they had progressive and non-progressive elements, and survived through a coalition of interests. Thus, southern Democrats, non-progressive, worked with Northeastern and northern midwestern progressives to overcome the voting power of Republicans, and maintain power in their regions. The deal required progressives in the north to look the other way as southerners maintained their unlawful hold on the citizenry though violation of constitutional rights. That coalition fell apart in the 60s, although some southerners who were not progressive stayed in the party. What we have now is a situation where there are no remaining members of the Democrat party who are not progressive. Those who weren't, are now (recall, for example, the former KKK leader, Robert Byrd and his progressive voting record after figuring out he had to get with the progressive agenda. Manchin is following his example.
So, it is just progressives (GOPe in control of the GOP, and all Democrats) against conservatives, who do not control a party. If conservatives cannot take over the GOP, which I think is probably the case, then there is only one solution to that situation.
