What the fukk is a "establishment progressive"? Man if yall don't see the grift going in here.
I can picture an establishment progressive
There's a portion of progressives that were different pre-covid and pre-trump.
Progressives were anti-war, but now after Trump and RussiaGate some progressive want the U.S. to be aggressive with Russa with the whole Ukraine thing.
Also many of them are much different post-covid, progressives used to hate capitalism and big pharma, and now they are the guerilla marketing arm of Pfizer, demonizing anyone who didn't get a shot of big pharma's vaccine. (I got both my shots i'm not anti-vax), vaccines with MASSIVE profit margins, no progressive outlet is talking about that.
Progressives used to be against unbelievably high margins for drugs, in this case that would be vaccines. They used to be against having crony capitalists in the FDA, they would have been all over Big Pharma saying not for another 55years for that FOIA request.
In my opinion a portion of progressives have changed in a very short period of time, almost like a flick of a switch. Not all though, but a portion.
