Let's look at a few of them:
Gun Ownership:
Many progressives own guns, shoot regularly, and would never give them up. Many more progressives are protected by armed personnel and relish the concomitant security and peace of mind. They are not opposed to guns per se. They are simply opposed to conservatives having guns.
"Gender-Affirming" healthcare:
This refers to minors undergoing either permanent disfiguring surgery or taking huge amounts body-altering drugs in a misguided, potentially deadly effort to somehow repeal their natural XX/XY chromosome status. No sane parent would allow their 12-year old child to decide this for themselves. But progressive politicians and spokespeople pretend that it is ok for other people's children to do this.
Capitalism:
Progressives can rail all they want about the unfairness of capitalism, but when it comes to their own personal financial situations, they certainly know how to operate the system to their own financial benefit. Al Gore, John Kerry, and many others have leveraged the "Climate Crisis"--supposedly caused by capitalism--into speeches, books, presentations, consultations, etc. They have netted themselves millions of dollars. "Mr. Socialism" Bernie Sanders has collected book royalties, and made investments for luxurious homes all on the salary of a lifelong public servant.
Hiring/Admission Demographic Quotas:
Progressives claim they are in favor of using racial/ethnic/gender quotas to redress past inequities in hiring, promotions and admissions. Yet if a progressive owns a law firm or a factory or a retail operation, one can rest assured that the vast majority of all hiring and promotion activities are based on MERIT and PERFORMANCE, and not on demographic categorization.
Elimination of Fossil Fuels:
When progressives assert that fossil fuels need to be banished, they knowingly ignore the fact that no large-scale, financially plausible replacement exists at this time. They knowingly ignore the fact that U.S. oil extraction procedures are the cleanest and safest in the world, yet they shut down the American oil industry and export it to countries where terrorism and pollution are out of control.
There are many other examples that illustrate the emotional/hypocritical practices of most progressives: Open borders/unrestricted illegal immigration, defund the police, elimination of high grading standards in the newly dumbed-down public school curricula, etc.
For progressive politicians, its all about virtue signaling, not logic.

Are there any liberals, leftists or democrats here willing to admit that they are really "progressives", and that they fully support the "progressive" agenda that includes DEI, CRT, ESG, the Green New Deal, Reparations, newly revised/lowered physical requirements for the military/fire/police duty for the American people?
