Re: your tag line.
We fought the idea that National Socialism was good by shooting everyone who supported the idea.
Unfortunately, that technique won’t work with the idea of progressivism(tm) in the U.S.

True. However, as progressivism has little connection with demonstrable fact, it is free to "compete" in the realm of ideas entirely unbounded by those pedestrian constraints that remain binding upon the sensible ideas that come against it. Ideas such as Limited Government find themselves facing an adversary that is allowed to — in essence — cheat, by any and every conceivable means.
The results are predictable.
