Using terms from 120 years ago and trying to apply them to current situations will often get you in trouble.

Democrat in 1804 does not equate to Democrat today. The same applies to “progressive.” There is not a world in which AOC and TR would be on the same side of most issues.

Who is using terms from 120 years ago this way?

AOC is not a progressive. AOC is proudly a democratic socialist.

And any democratic socialist 120 years ago? Yes, that would apply to AOC today. Your whole mantra is incorrect.

This is true. And i cringe every time I see people comparing the democrat party of today with the democrat party of pre FDR time. I would likely have been a democrat in those days. There is not a single democrat in our government i would even consider voting for today.

T.R. could be called a man’s man. Something left in the rubble of The Berlin Wall.

The democratic party of today started it’s demise when Hillary became Senator. Thr emasculation stsryed thete.

That's because of “progress.” Beck is entirely correct in looking at the principles operating the engine that is running the now-runaway progressive movement.
