it takes very little authority to do nothing
Once your side does something it takes authority to get rid of it and even more authority to enforce it

Everything changes is the first rule of reality. In that sense perhaps progressivism is swimming with the current, which requires less energy.

If it wasn't for change life would be perfect.

It's been tried 50 times and failed. It's going to take a lot of authority to change it, apparently.

All that is needed is a President who won't veto their repeal.

From the Flat Earthers to the persecution of Galileo, history continues to repeat.

And you guys label progressives as the Flat-Earthers? You might want to think about that one.

If you read the article, you would not have made such a ridiculous statement.

Doesn't matter what the stupid article says. Progressives were the first round earthers, evolution believers, accepting of new ideas and social changes. The conservatives resist all new knowledge, it's their nature. So they always be just a little dumber and more likely to believe that the earth is flat and that man made global warming is a hoax. As the rate of progress increases they will fall further behind. Eventually they will be considered mentally deficient and will need special classes and such.

Quite so. Conservatives are continually be dragged into the future kicking and screaming and very much against their will. And they think the other guy is the Flat-Earther! Perhaps Tom B is just a slapstick performance artist without peer.

You should have read the article so that you do not come off so ignorant.
