You Might Be a “Progressive” If…………………….

·         You’re ignoring the chaos and suffering in Venezuela while cheering for the rise of socialism in America.
·         You’re breathlessly waiting to find out who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses for 2020.
·         You think “progress” is the “Green New Deal” and going back to the days before airplanes.
·         You put off working for five years and racked up $100,000 in student loan debt to get a useless degree in women’s studies, and now you want your hard-working, taxpaying neighbors to be saddled with your debt.
·         You work part-time at Taco Bell but you’re demanding to be paid enough to comfortably support a family of four.
·         You support the “resistance” against Trump’s efforts for border security because you’re a wealthy lawyer who lives in a gated community, so your job and security aren’t at risk.
·         You declare from inside your gated community, “Walls don’t work!”
·         You’re not alarmed about the dangers of a deep state because the deep state serves your interests today.
·         You want to go on a “sex-strike” to punish states that limit abortion, but you won’t curtail sex to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
·         You think taking away Americans’ constitutional rights to self-defense via gun ownership is a good way to protect us from bad people.
·         Your entire philosophy with respect to Israel and the Palestinians is based upon ignorance of history and one-sided media reporting.
·         You angrily rail about “climate deniers” from your vacation home (which you traveled to by private car or jet).
·          25 years after-the-fact you’re finally ready to acknowledge who Bill Clinton really is.
·         You still won’t acknowledge who Hillary Clinton really is.  
·         You are outraged about Trump’s “lies,” but you weren’t bothered in the least when Barack Obama forced Obamacare on 330 million Americans based on lies.
·         You won’t admit that you don’t want America to be great again because it makes “progressives” irrelevant, so instead you pretend to be outraged about Russia.
·         You want to be protected by the Constitution even as you seek to destroy it.
·         You denounce racism and “old, white men” in the same breath.
·         You suffer from self-loathing because of your “white privilege.”
·         You’re a bartender from New York but you believe you're entitled to be the boss of all Americans.

Alas, I could do this all day.  Please share what gives a “progressive” away to you!
