I upvoted this because your criticism wasn't of "left" or "right" but the parent's lazy understanding of "progressive" and "conservative". The right in America

I upvoted this because your criticism wasn't of "left" or "right" but the parent's lazy understanding of "progressive" and "conservative". The right in America understands the left quite well, but many on the left think they're trying "new" things leading to progress while the right wants to keep things the same. This is the understanding of a child and why we have political conflict in the U.S. The most conservative stalwarts that want things to remain the same in America are government, finance, tech, media, academia and education. The cultural institutions that the left built in the 60s are the ones failing and the ones they want to conserve.
