Essentially speaking, progressives believe in bigger government and more regulation. They come in all stripes and colors: liberal, Democrat, Republican. Individual liberty and freedom are subject to being infringed upon if, in their minds, it becomes necessary in order to regulate business and to conduct the affairs of government. According to them, state governments should be done away with, because all power should belong in a centralized government where the government and not the people, rules the day.
Most of us cherish our individual rights and freedoms. We believe in what our Constitution provides and in the Bill of Rights, and we subscribe to a free economic system. We believe that powers not specifically granted to the central government belong to the states and to the people.
As it currently stands, the Washington "establishment cartel" is made up entirely of progressives from both parties. That's why you see the Bushes lining up with the Clintons in an effort to prevent Trump from becoming president, because if he wins... before he even makes one move as President... there will have been a sudden shift away from the progressive power base in Washington. They can't stand the thought of that happening and they don't give a hoot if the vast majority of Americans want less government and regulation or not. To them, it's not what WE want, it's what THEY want.
That's what this election is all about, in a nutshell. It's us Americans versus the progressive Washington establishment. As a benefit, this makes it easy for us to identify the progressive "big government" power-mongers, because they are pulling out all of the stops, using lies, spins, threats and anything else available to stop this "insolent American movement."
Pay attention when you cast your ballots.
