Readers’ Views: Misguided progressive policies are nothing new – The Phoenix

Progressives want to abandon Capitalism and replace it with Socialism. Why? Capitalism has raised hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and despair. At its best, Socialism has failed everywhere its been tried. At its worst, Socialism has led to the brutal deaths of a hundred million people in the last century alone.

Progressives no longer believe the content of ones character is more important than the color of their skin or the presence of a Y chromosome. Its all about identity politics. They dont acknowledge how far weve come as a society and nation. They would rather tear us apart and foster hate.

Rather than taking pride in the fact that the United States has on numerous occasions saved the world from despots, dictators, and disasters, Progressives laud the accomplishments and efficiency of the Communist Party in China. They condemn President Trump as a racist for enforcing our existing immigration laws while they ignore Chinese concentration camps where a million Muslims are currently being reeducated.

Its OK to riot and loot during a pandemic but not to meet for religious services or funerals. Progressives want to both defund the police and take away our 2nd Amendment right to defend ourselves. They want to give everyone free healthcare insurance and then dictate how big our soda can be or determine when we should die. Equal opportunity is not enough! Progressives want equal outcomes regardless of effort or talent.

The Progressive strategy is not new. They want to create chaos to gain power. Its that simple.
