Just because something is "progressive" doesn't mean it's automatically desirable. Progress for the sake of progress can, more often than not, be extremely destructive. Dems/libs/progs aren't intelligent enough to recognize this.
Right now, progressivism would say to control the media and only allow certain "approved truths" to be stated, de-platform those on the internet who don't speak the preapproved "truth", imprison or otherwise ostracize those who disagree with the correct viewpoints, direct democracy (ending the EC, trying to pack the USSC, adding new States, end the filibuster) is preferable to a representative gov't, mislabel your political opposition in order to try and gain the advantage by any means necessary, the destruction of traditional moral laws, the "in your face" attitude, etc... Basically anything that pushes the leftist agenda over common sense, conservative ideology is OK. What they call progressive, normal people call steps towards totalitarian rule.
