Why Are Progressives So Illiberal?

Progressives adopted identity politics and rejected class considerations because solidarity with elite minorities excuses them from concern for, or experience with, the middle classes of all races.

One common theme in the abject madness and tragedies of the past 12 months is that progressive ideology now permeates almost all of our major institutions—even as the majority of Americans resist the leftist agenda. Its reach resembles the manner in which the pre-Renaissance church had absorbed the economic, cultural, social, artistic, and political life of Europe, or perhaps how Islamic doctrine was the foundation for all public and private life under the Ottoman Sultanate—or even how all Russian institutions of the 1930s exuded tenets of Soviet Marxism.

Mr. Hanson:
"Why Are Progressives So Illiberal?"

I don't need to read Victor's piece to answer that.
Since the days of Woodrow Wilson, the term "progressive" has been used as a code word with which to disguise another political party affiliation.

You all know what that party is.
