The Left isn’t progressive. It’s divisive. It pits people against each other. Mostly it’s the Left against anyone who won’t do as they say. They impose their beliefs on others and lack tolerance. If that’s progressive, it’s scary.
Conservative doesn’t mean you don’t want change. But conservatives don’t stir up problems so they can solve them. Actually the left never solves them because keeping them unsolved is the source of their control.
It was a conservative President who ended slavery. Action is taken when action is needed.
You show disdain for the foundations of your country. Marxists (who might be super progressives) want people to hate their country. It makes it easier for them to take control and force socialism on everyone. If you think there is income inequality now, it would be much worse under socialism or its extreme forms like Facism or Communism.
Perhaps you are being naive. Not to worry, as you get older, reality will water down your idealism.
