What I've done, pal, is let you call me out of the op. And now we're going to back into the op and we're going to stay there, even if it kills you.
Now, the question is, "Do Progressives want conflict or unity?". Well, as to my original thinking, Progressives want unity but only if it's under
their flag. So will this bring conflict? Absolutely; especially in the US.
Let's take a look at your precious Wikipedia:
"Progressivism is a way of thinking that holds that it is possible through political action for human societies to improve over time. As a political movement, progressivism purports to advance the human condition through social reform based on advancements in science, technology, economic development and social organization."
Seems harmless enough, so why all the pushback? Well, let's read more.
"Adherents to this way of thinking hold that progressivism has universal application and endeavor to spread this idea to human societies everywhere."
Ah, there's your first problem. It appears Progressives are SO enthralled with this way of thinking that they believe ALL people need to conform to it. This is unacceptable, of course, especially in a free country like the US.
Now, do we see Progressives respecting Americans desires to keep this belief system out of their faces? ****, no! This is a GLOBAL mindset therefore, the entire GLOBE needs to be under it. Adolph Hitler had the same kind of thinking with his agenda, too.
