That was hilarious. I love your sense of humor.1- If a Progressive has a Trump supporting mother, that means he was weaned by a NAZI, right?
2- If a Progressive has 15 Trump supporting relatives in the entire family, then these 15 are Cross Burning white sheet wearing terrorists right?
3-If a Progressive finds out his friends are Trump supporters, then his friends think making lamp shades out of skin is cool, right?
I try and think of the logic from all sides of an issue. My logic here is from the TV talking heads that say every Trump Supporter approves of gassing people by the 1000's. So I asked the above points.
Thanks for reading
Did you fall off the turnip truck on the way to civics class?
Nazis are not "white-hooded". The Klan is white-hooded.
"Progressives" were around from roughly 1890 to 1920.
Obviously logic doesn't play a part in your posting. Go back to the minor leagues and come back when you have a game, Hunior.
& teddy roosevelt... a REPUBLICAN founded the progressive party.
huh - funny that.
First National Convention of the Progressive Party
Aug 03, 2012
After Theodore Roosevelt lost the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft in June of 1912, he broke away from the party, and he and his supporters formed the Progressive Party. They took their name from the social movement that was sweeping the nation at that time. Many other progressives joined Roosevelt, effectively splitting the Republican Party.
On August 5, 1912, the first National Convention of the Progressive Party opened at the Chicago Coliseum, which had also hosted the Republican National Convention two months earlier. The atmosphere at the convention held a nearly religious fervor, reflecting the absolute dedication party members had to their cause.

Teddy Roosevelt nominated as Bull Moose candidate
- Theodore Roosevelt is nominated for the presidency by the Progressive Party, a group of Republicans dissatisfied with the renomination of President William Howard Taft. Also known as the Bull Moose Party, the Progressive platform called for the direct election of U.S. senators, woman suffrage, reduction of the tariff, and many social reforms. Roosevelt, who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909, embarked on a vigorous campaign as the party’s presidential candidate. A key point of his platform was the “Square Deal”–Roosevelt’s concept of a society based on fair business competition and increased welfare for needy Americans.

The 1912 election
Republican insurgents were determined to prevent Taft’s renomination in 1912. They found their leader in Roosevelt, who had become increasingly alienated from Taft and who made a whirlwind campaign for the presidential nomination in the winter and spring of 1912. Roosevelt swept the presidential primaries, even in Taft’s own state of Ohio, but Taft and conservative Republicans controlled the powerful state organizations and the Republican National Committee and were able to nominate Taft by a narrow margin. Convinced that the bosses had stolen the nomination from him, Roosevelt led his followers out of the Republican convention. In August they organized the Progressive (“Bull Moose”) Party and named Roosevelt to lead the third-party cause. Hiram Johnson, the reform Republican governor of California, became Roosevelt’s running mate.
