I identified as a progressive independent up until the last 4-5 years... I now am a dead center independent (get that out of the way before I get the triggered label)
I protested for LGBT rights/universal healthcare/etc... so I'm not some trump loving conservative by any stretch..
That being said...
What's going on right now is way over the top... I don't have a problem with a million magazines/tv/media talking about it because in all honesty...it's a money maker..it's trendy right now to be Berkeley progressive...it's a target demographic market as far as middle age and younger people in America so it makes some sense that it's used as a branding tool(think Pepsi/Jenner) commercial.
The problem I have is when someone voices a counter opinion to this agenda and they are demonized for it... the very issues that caused the need for protest(discrimination/segregation/free speech/etc) are the very things the current progressives are hypocritically doing themselves..
That's were the current progressives lost me...
In a nutshell..it's fine if you think there's 64 sexual identities but if I don't agree then leave it at that...that's the problem,,we won't always agree in a democratic society but if the current trend goes unchecked we directly weaken the very fabric of ethics that made it possible to promote progressive values to begin with.
