no, I have not redefined progressive.
I reject the thoughts of a regressive that see ordinary conservatives as being so far to the left that they are progressive.
it is a relative thing
relatively , regressives are to the right of the conservative spectrum
If one believes that the current size, and by extension, reach of the Federal monster is acceptable, then they are BY definition a PROGRESSIVE.
You can change that definition all you want, but truths are unmaliable.
