I believe progressives and radical Democrats are a peculiar lot and a mixture of many personality types simultaneously.
They are aggressive, mean-spirited, have little regard for ethical restraint, are didactic, insecure, yet, comfortable in their cocoon of always being right, if they say it, it becomes so.
I believe they awake each morning disgruntled that the world is imperfect and only they have the answer how to change it into a better one. They profess to mean well and to have their fellow "man" always in mind.
Take President Johnson who had the "chutzpah" to believe he could end poverty. After spending literally trillions of dollars, poverty remained and those he sought to help were actually worse off because expectations were raised and in the end were dashed.
Meanwhile, after he left office, there was an entire "cadre" of "do gooder" progressives and radical Democrats ready to correct his mistakes claiming they only needed more time and, as always, more money.
After all, who is against elevating the underclass? How can one argue against such a worthwhile endeavor? All it takes, we are told, is more time, more tax dollars. Who, in their right mind, could be so heartless as to question both their motive and methods? All they ask is a free pass to solve the intractable.
Their discontent is assuaged by the fact they also have power beyond the voting booth.
The number of registered Democrats and Republicans is about the same. Democrats may have a modest numerical edge and certainly are more organized because power and control means everything. They do not believe government can function if it is small. In order to accomplish their goals, bigness and distance are the answer.

There's only one?
Imagine Stalin as a Karen.
That is today’s leftists.
“Imagine Stalin as a Karen.
That is today’s leftists.”
Yep, you nailed it.
The problem with leftist policies is two-fold.
1) They cost too much
2) Like their target constituents, they don’t work.
