They’re commies

Good article

[Kaslin]

I refer to them as demons

[sit-rep]

Never once called them “Progressives”... My preferred term was/is A$$holes...

[FormerFRLurker]

If you’re bullying others into agreeing that you’re a member of the opposite sex that’s not “progressive”, that’s just gaslighting.

[bankwalker]

I prefer:

"central planners"
"collectivists"
"control freaks".

[lgjhn23]

We old timers just call em what they are: communists.

I agree 1000% “Progress” is something that most hope for. The firebombs in Portland (and elsewhere) were tossed by Maoists...Red Guards.

RED! #ComDem's

[Pajamajan]

A Communist by any other name...

[Codeflier]

I feel the same way when we give these totalitarian collectivists cover by calling them “liberals”. The liberals were many of the first ones purged and killed by the soviet communists.

[sport]

You are correct. “Liberal” initially meant free thinker. It was probably among the many words that the Communists co-opted and gave their meaning to.

[xkaydet65]

But Fascism sprung from Progressivism. Its goal from its beginnings was control.

[Vaduz]

Progressives = Lemmings

Cliff diving anyone

[oldtech]

The “progressives” are a fine example of what should be called regressives.

[Pollard]

I use Leftists or Commies

“Drag me to Hell” was a movie about the left:

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

“Screwballs” is the old timer’s word.
