You have been brainwashed by the news media, we all have. News outlets regularly tell their audience what to think, rather than what to know, and if you’re not careful, you’ll find your opinions being programmed by an external source instead of your own common sense.

Take the term “progressive,” for example. While innocuous at first glance, it’s used to shield readers from the truth that those labeled as such are typically radical far-left socialists whose opinions are not even shared by the majority of Democrats. It’s a virtuous-sounding label. Who wouldn’t want to be called progressive? Progress is a good thing, right? We should make progress on solving the country’s problems, but the policies proposed by those labeled progressives only exacerbate those problems and create new ones.
