Not only have so-called "Progressives," who, in fact, are regressive and have taken a once-prosperous nation back into almost bankruptcy, but who have failed rising generations by failing to teach them the ideas of liberty by which America became the greatest nation on earth!
The Constitution of the United States of America structured a form of self-government with strictly limited powers in the hands of imperfect persons who would serve terms in its federal offices, with frequent elections.
Progressives, since the late 1800's, have pledged themselves to "change" the Framers' "We, the People"-controlled government into a near tyrannical and oppressive center of power and oppression of the citizenry.
By gaining control of what has come to be known as the "education system," from top to bottom, they now have become propagandists who educate for rising generations to become accustomed to being "sheep," not a citizenry of free individuals and a strictly limited government power over their "pursuit" of happiness.
What has happened is that the “Progressives” have got rich at OUR expense!
Not only that, the FReaking “Progressives,” because they are rich and live in cloistered, gated communities, DO NOT have to suffer the consequences of the decisions they force upon us “normals.”
At some point, we “normals” will disabuse them of the notion that they are immune FRom their decisions!
THIS WILL NOT END WELL FOR THE “PROGRESSIVES!”
