Yes.
The correct and accurate term for every democrat and every leftist is racist regressive fascist.
Racist because every thought or action must be understood in terms of color. Content of character no longer matters,
Regressive because they seek to eliminate the freedoms of classical liberalism. The first amendment, the second, etc. they wish to regress to an era where the individual is subsumed.
And fascist because all primacy rests on state control and power.
I correct anyone stupid enough to use the false terms of democrat, progressive, leftist, etc. ,in front of me. I tell them to speak truthfully, and say racist, regressive, fascists or don’t speak to or near me.
I never have to tell them twice.
I have stated before on this site that those who are referred to as “progressives” are not,but are absolutely regressive. Progressive refers to progress;exactly what these liberals are NOT.
In my own humble way I have been planting seeds to make the term “progressives” or progressive become a derogatory expression.
Since the actual description is rather long (neo-communist “progressive-liberal” democrat) a bit of thought got it down to proglib.
Since most folks have not heard that term they ask what it means.
Voila! The conversation door opens and I can explain the realities of “progressivism” and where it always goes.

I have never understood why Conservatives jump to embrace deceptive terminology put out by Liberals.
“Progressive” should not be used. Leftists is the term that should be used.
People confuse “progressive” with “progress”.
I am the moderate American in the 21st century. I vote with the majority in presidential, congressional and state elections.
Since all the “moderate Democrats” have been driven out of that Marxist party, there are only two groups: Moderates and Far-Left Marxists.
I’ve been calling them regressives for at least 2 years. They hate it!
Yes, it’s back 1000s of years with these regressive guys, but because they don’t read history they’ll never know. For example, the fetish of sexual identity was something the Romans played around with in their more decadent phase. The heredity rights of communist leaders (e.g., Raul Castro, Kim Jong Un) were no different that in the countless millennia back when kings and their progeny ruled their kingdoms. This is NOT progressive. Many of the beliefs of regressive left goes back to paganism: radical ecology = Gaia, emphasis on women = matriarchy, anything goes sexually = temple prostitutes, etc. Coupled with high degrees of impiety and whim back then might as well be today.
Communists. All the other names are euphemisms and subterfuges.
A recent WSJ opinion piece referred to “authoritarian socialism.”And if you think about it, socialism is authoritarian.
Nothing else. Because it is authoritarian, it is naive towards government - and, perforce, cynical towards society (which actually needs a lot less governing than the authoritarian prefers to believe, or to admit).
