The progressive movement is based on certain assumptions. It holds that human nature can be improved by mandating moral behavior through the application of regulations, incentives, and punishments. In addition, the philosophy believes that the power of the federal government can be harnessed to improve the individual, and transform society through political action. It seeks to establish a form of statism.
We now have a nation which the majority feel is headed in the wrong direction. We have a cognitively impaired but woke-compliant president, an incompetent but diversity qualified VP, and neurologically-impaired senators. Identity politics divides the nation ideologically. CRT competes with the Three R's in a failing education system. Equity replaces merit. Family structure is weakened by the forces of feminism. "Gender" is a choice. The young, are increasingly depressed, anxious, drug addicted, and suicide prone.
Our immigration policy restricts the immigration of productive foreigners. Drugs, homelessness, and crime escalate. The DoD declared the diversity inclusion initiative "critical" to its mission.
Progressivism cannot improve human nature via regulations, incentives, and punishment any more than can aging or libido. People are motivated by self-interest, not by social obligation or the common good. Bureaucratic "public servants" use their position to advance their personal agenda. Media pundits are not motivated by a desire to enlighten the public, but to manipulate it.
Progressivism seeks statism, and thus, becomes authoritarian. Woke progressivism has evolved from acting as an advocate of the disadvantaged to waging war on the "privileged".
