From the left: Progressive Moment Is Done
“The progressive moment is well and truly over,” argues the Liberal Patriot’s Ruy Teixeira — because many of its ideas “were pretty terrible and most voters, outside the precincts of the progressive left itself, were never very interested in them.”
For example, “loosening restrictions on illegal immigration was a terrible idea and voters hate it.”
So too with “promoting lax law enforcement and tolerance of social disorder,” “insisting that everyone should look at all issues through the lens of identity politics” and “telling people fossil fuels are evil and they must stop using them.”
“Voters clearly aren’t buying what progressives are selling” and “the backlash against these ideas is strong.”
That’s why Kamala Harris “is furiously back-pedaling from all these positions.”

The Progressive Era began well over 100 years ago. 1913 was an especially “Progressive” year, but the movement has already been around for awhile. There is a whole lot of bad stuff that needs to be undone.
Our getting into WWI in 1917 made it "official".
Trump and Rogan brought this up also. What is important to libtard pols is not to most people yet there are a few nuts they can inspire to raise hell about anything they direct to be an issue.
I want the Backlash to be so strong that the progressives ancestors feel it 5 generations back!!!
At least one commie figured it out.
After almost three years of quiet, whip-cracking is back in downtown Reno.
In 2021, the Reno City Council passed an ordinance banning the possession and use of whips without a permit after receiving numerous noise complaints. A year later, the RGJ reported, the complaints were finally quieting down.
But the Reno Police Department posted on Instagram this week that it's seen an uptick in the use of bullwhips downtown in the past two months and has cited or arrested 11 people for the prohibited noise-making.

But “President Woodrow Wilson kept us out of the war”.

It isn’t possible to back peddle from positions that the ultra left Democrats developed and created. The moderate Democrats have been suckered by the ultra-left into accepting wokeness and dystopian nonsense... And now they need to accept what they themselves have created and sleep in the bed that they’ve made. American’s are sick of it... And on November 5th, the ultraleft will truly be awoken.
I hope they are.
“Progressive Moment Is Done”
Sorry, I’ve seen too many Horror/Monster/Action shows in which the “bad guy” appears to be done but gets back up to cause more trouble, so I don’t believe this.
All we can expect is a respite for a while from progressive ideas.
Remember when the Soviet Union fell? Much press like this. Progressivism is dead!
It just hides in the sewer for a while until an Obama pops out for a new generation of youngsters and voila — progressivism rules!
It was Woodrow Wilson who brought left wing politics to America.
“Progressive Era”...just another brand name for Communism.
It is only “done” if:
1) Trump has coattails
2) GOP makes significant gains in the state legislatures
3) GOP takes control of both Senate and House
AND
The GOP has the backbone to implement voter integrity laws at both the state and federal levels.
