The anti-confederate groups are not progressives...
They seem to wear the label and my progressive friends see to think the BLM folks are progressives, so why do you say that and what linkage can you provide?
Or are you just trolling?
What is a progressive in your definition?
My own personal working definition of what a Progressive is not what general society considers progressive to mean.
I consider a real Progressive to be a person who thinks that we should have as a goal the improvement of society. Sort of like the old Boy Scout slogan about leaving a camp site cleaner than you found it.
Originally it was much more than that and tied to American Protestantism's 'City on a Hill' kind of thing. Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive as was most who followed him in the White House.
When Progressivism was successful, it was tied down to basic Judeo-Christian morality, but it isn't any more, and has become a branch of neoMarxism.
