Doesn’t nearly everyone think of their own opinions as progressive? Is progress not something we generally consider a positive thing, culturally? So this is a somewhat meaningless story.
No, conservatives are by definition against progress. I mean, maybe they support something that they see as “economic progress” (as in growing the economy, not making it more egalitarian), but definitely not social progress. They specifically want to “conserve” the status quo or want to go backwards to how it was in the past, in other words, regression.
I had this conversation with my dad many years ago, because he’s not progressive- he compared culture to a herd of lemmings (I know it’s not really what they do) that might “progress” to an unsustainable place.
I don’t think so. I suppose just anecdotal but I doubt it. Everyone thinks of themselves as the good person in their story but that doesn’t mean progressive. Change=bad for many

Haha, I can see why they’re extinct now. Bad marketing.
