To me, Progressive comes from the root word, progress...to go forward. The current administration has turned back the clock on so many rights that we used to enjoy. Some of these are the right to privacy, senior issues, right of free speech, without being called unpatriotic because you don't agree with the current administration, etc. Bigotry and lying seem to be the 'stay the course' agenda of this administration. We need to 'Go Forward'!
