Several people, myself included, have been mulling this over. Currently, the right stands for the complete repeal of every single point of objectively positive legislation that has been passed over he last century, clamoring for a return to an age of robber barons and unmitigated corporate greed. I can think of no system of political values that deserve the term "regressive" more than they do at this point. A retreat from progress is, by definition, "regression". The title of "conservative" no longer applies. It's time they were given a name that truly befits them.
The morally bankrupt scum operating behind the curtains of the right have long since understood that precise use of language can be an incredibly powerful tool. Currently, they're trying to turn "progressive" into a greasy slur, exactly the same way they somehow managed to turn "liberal" into a second name for the devil. I suggest we hit them back by describing them honestly.
