No matter how great the crimes progressives commit, no matter how terrible the future they labor to create, no matter how devastating the catastrophes they leave behind, the world outside the faith seems ever ready to forgive them their "mistakes" and to grant them the grace of "good intentions.".....
.....No matter how opportunistically the left's agendas have been modified, however, no matter how circumspectly its goals have been set, no matter how generous its concessions to political reality, the faithful have not given up their self-justifying belief that they can bring about a social redemption. In other words, a world in which human consciousness is changed, human relations refashioned, social institutions transformed, and in which "social justice" prevails.
Because the transformation progressives seek is ultimately total, the power they seek must be total as well. In the end, the redemption they envision cannot be achieved as a political compromise, even though compromises may be struck along the way. Their brave new world can ultimately be secured only by the complete surrender of the resisting force. In short, the transformation of the world requires the permanent entrenchment of the saints in power. Therefore, everything is justified that serves to achieve the continuance of Them........
......Conservatives who think progressives are misinformed idealists will forever be blind-sided by the malice of the left—by the cynicism of those who pride themselves on principle, by the viciousness of those who champion sensitivity, by the intolerance of those who call themselves liberal, and by the ruthless disregard for the well-being of the downtrodden by those who preen themselves as social saints."......." -- David Horowitz June 22, 2000

From 39 seconds to 2 min is George Will talking about progressivism – says that Gruber should have his own show and keep talking and educate the people about progressivism and their elitist attitude.
He was channeling Herbert Croly, founder of New Republic Magazine and published a book called “The Promise of American Life”.
“The average American individual is morally and intellectually inadequate to a serious and consistent conception of his responsibilities.”
Which is why the progressives have said for a 100 years we need experts to regulate and manage the bovine masses who do not know how to conduct their lives.
This is a tutorial we are getting this week in the progressive [spirit?] progressivism
