“It’s theirs to change.”
But at what point do the changes overlap with previous changes? Many times they go through a number of changes and finally make their change to the original point of what they were arguing with. Many people from the media have called that flip flopping. And without the expanse of time so people will forget or a majority of the people that have never been involved with the topic change, it just goes unnoticed. But the line of misinformation continues and sometimes even starts a new direction of provided belief.
I don’t look at it as they can change it. That illustrates an overwhelming power they don’t have. I thing your last sentence is more telling of your recognition of this problem: “Progressives have no opposition in the historical field.” And why are the conservatives not arguing with them? Because they all live under the illusion that it will all go away with a new provided topic of the sky is falling. And their hands don’t get dirty and that’s the peoples’ mistake for not holding their work to the grind stone. The answer is at the polls.
