They call themselves progressives now. Not liberals. I call everyone a Regressive. There is absolutely nothing pro-gressive about them.
They are leftists.
You misunderstand. “Progressive” is a double entendre.
The original “progressives” developed the term specifically meaning GRADUAL, not “advanced”. However, it was great because people first assume they want to “advance” and get better.
As usual with commies, they were deceptive and duplicitous in using words.
