The biggest group of optimists in politics ( all parties have them) are in trouble because their expectation that the revolution will just come with time is not proving to be correct .
The biggest nonsense progressives promote is that politics is powerful.
Progressives believe that if you have the right govt and the right amount of money the world will be supremely blessed. No more grace alone , faith alone ( incl education ) just process alone ,

This is exactly why the left is on the nose. They offer sweets but the sweet taste does't last because the sugar supply is all one way .
They think they are gods, but don't have answers ; they think experimenting works .
If you don't have a solution or understand the connections you don't know that the next experiment is likely to work .
.....and a new house full of hopefuls will only speed up the progress towards the next wall.
