Progressivism is the enemy. Liberalism is just a nice-sounding euphemism. By allowing the progs to define themselves as liberals allows them to act “nice” by asking us if we want handicapped people to starve.
Progressivism is about “progressing” to the next level of humanity through Marxism. It is humanity without faith in the true God pursuing some ideal that cannot exist without God, so they demand that people deify the state and the 20th century has already shown us that catastrophe ensues when people elevate the state to that level.
Fine. Call it progressivism, call it liberalism, call it whatever you want. The point is that the enemy is NOT the Democrat party. We have always voted as if it was, and voting that way is what got us here. Time to stop.
