Hillsdale professor Kevin Slack says America was founded by settlers, not immigrants. He and Nick trace how the Progressive Era and the New Deal moved power from Congress and the states to an unelected bureaucracy, why the income tax made it possible, and why he says the founders never saw diversity as a strength. Then Nick asks the question hanging over all of it: can the Constitution, as it stands today, still protect the Republic?

I really appreciate it that someone, anyone, with credibility, teaches this.

They're both shades of fascism.
Progressivism is slightly older than Fascism.
I note you capitalized it as a matter of rhetorical convenience.
Formally yes, functionally no.
Progressivism is socialism for slow learners.
By the time Giovanni Gentile penned the Fascist Manifesto in 1919, the Progressives had already scored the U.S. Presidency three times.
Formally yes. Functionally yes. Actually yes. Progressivism is older than Fascism. It just is. Facts are stubborn things.
Not one of them was a socialist.

To my knowledge, Truman never nationalized any of the means of production. None of them did.
All of the coveted and worshiped at the altar of the administrative state. Bureaucracy is the point and core of Progressivism. The faction of the unelected experts.
Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan "Down With Socialism" on the banner of his "great crusade," that is really not what he means at all.
What he really means is "Down with Progress--down with Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal," and "down with Harry Truman's fair Deal." That's all he means. - Harry Truman, October 10, 1952
Because it's illegal to put 'progressives' to the bayonet. Y'know, unless a civil war starts...
No. They were both creatures of the same cadre of the extreme wealthy having the same intentions of wielding unchecked power at the bond auctions. I suggest to you the work of Rabbi Antelman.
That headline is a load of crap. Americans are not divided; it is the ankle biters whose voices are deceptively intensified over the social media and the legacy media.
