Kinda off-topic, but this is another example of how liberals have taken over the language. Liberals are no longer liberals. They are now “progressives”.
What’s next? Will liberals someday label non-PC free speech as “hate speech”? Oh, wait. They are already doing that.

They were “Progressives” back when our side was “Liberal”. Progressives have been with us since before the Bolshevik Revolution and the phrase was coined by the father of American Progressivism, who was a Republican Senator. Betcha didn’t know about him, did you?
Liberal was not originally about turning our lives over the government. Classical liberalism is the exact opposite. But, when the Russian “experiment” didn’t go so well and people started wanting Communists out of American politics, people already knew of the Progressive-Communist connection.
Communists seek communism through revolution.
Progressives seek communism through gradual changes in thoughts. They are the inventors of the “nudge”, the slow changing of how we think by controlling how we act and what we can say through regulation and social pressure. Progressivism is kindler-gentler Communism. It is a thousand points of light against what they consider the darkness of capitalism.
So, the Progs took “liberal” from us by the use of the nudge.
After Obama’s election, they felt empowered enough to dust off the old red flag and start owning up to their Progressive roots. Yes, it is about “progress”, but it is not progress as a Christian would understand.
