Trump Lied His Way to the White House

Can you expound a bit on how you came up with that conclusion? The Progressive Movement, IMO, relates to our Common Welfare and with a somewhat socialistic notion of personal progress for the greatest number of people.

A more academic definition .... copied and pasted... describes Progressivism as:

Progressivism is the support for or advocacy of social reform. As a philosophy, it is based on the Idea of Progress, which asserts that advancements in science, technology, economic development, and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human condition.

Maybe you feel too many of the people who call themselves Progressives engage in hateful activities totally inconsistent with the ideology?

I warm to the idea of humans simultaneously caring about each other and our worldly environment.

Yes. The opposite of progressivism is cultural lag, social stagnation, deliberate and willful ignorance, and backwardness- places like Saudi Arabia or Texas.

Because the progressive movement has embraced the "we are correct, anyobe that disagrees is evil" approach.

IMO, the most fervent Progressive Voices either come out of California or have California connections... like MoveOn/Soros and Speaker Pelosi.

Michigan-based Michael Moore and Tennessee-based Al Gore both have California connections. If Gore had taken his home state's EVs in 2000, he would have won the election.

Rest assured, much like disenfranchised voters tapped and swayed by Team Trump that swung the election Trump's way, an increasingly larger number of disenfranchised Progressives, including me, would like an overhaul of the Progressive Leadership. At the same time, I want my marching orders to come out of Florida, not California... and I want significant changes in the Progressive paradigm that align actions with principles. Let's try to agree on at least a few attainable goals.

Its becoming evident that the Trump/Putin collusion bull**** is just that and leftists have been spoon fed a steady diet of said bull**** and swallowed like a champ and now...its pretty much hitting them that there was no collusion and Trump is not going to be impeached for it and worse...Comeys testimony, designed to kill Trump has merely served to cause members of the Obama administration to be dragged into the spotlight.

If leftist hatred left them unbalanced before...I think its going to get a lot worse in the next few months.

So the message is one of hate. Yet President Trump and the Trumpsters won.

If hate always loses, and Trump won, then it must be the other side that hates.

I think the Trump hatred of the left will continue into 2018 where it will become a greater negative in the midterms, then the '20 Presidential.
