"Progressive" is a term made up by liberals because "liberal" has become used as a pejorative effectively by the right wing entertainment complex.

The complex caught on and now convince right wingers that progressives are somehow worse/further left than liberals.

It's nothing more than a Luntz-ian game of language.

This is not actually correct. The term "progressive" began in the late 1800s/early 1900s and is associated with things such as cleaning up politically corrupt machines in big cities, the labor movement, industry regulation, child labor laws, etc.

Absolutely not. It's an entirely different concept and is the more authoritarian arm of the left wing.
