> in the context of the U.S., progressivism is small enough and has little enough political power that it can be overlooked On the other hand, Coca-Cola had training urging workers to be less white [1], the US Army lectured soldiers on white privilege [2], the most allegedly xenophobic US president didn't put a dent in legal immigration numbers [3], academia is not only overwhelmingly liberal, but also openly hostile to conservatives [4], and the University of California required (or still requires?) specific plans to advance diversity from job applicants [5]. You are correct that if you measure progressivism by e.g. worker's rights, universal healthcare, or stopping the military-industrial complex, it has been an utter failure. And if your imagined conservative is someone that is opposed to these things, they will appear very powerful. But if you pick a different test by which you measure, you get very different results.
