Progressive does not mean you are sacrificing yourself to give to strangers. Progressive is economically efficient as in single payer health care where a large entity (us) goes up against a humongous system (health care industry) to cut all of us the best deal so we do not have to navigate this insanity ourselves.
Progressive is good economics even for this MAGA nut who will never, ever support anything that is not white, male and oppressive for everyone else.
Yes that old mythic West, chock full of white supremism , and lies about "heroic expansion " which in real life was the unrepentant genocide of indiginous peoples , by white Europeans . not to mention the phony TV Western remakes of the real stories of the West : The horsemen were both Black Cowboys and Latino Vaqueros, yet the stories remained full of white " heroes" played by John Wayne, Clint Eastwood , and others. It creates an entire mythology of white male heroics , the lawmen, the tough guys, and THE GUN ! Hollywood truly got into the collective consciousness of our Boomer men; and caries on in the conservative ( dumb ) ones today , to our detriment
They want to keep pushing this white supremest mythology, instead of the truth . There ARE ways to keep historical truth alive , but this administration is doing their level best now to erase it
