You don't know what you're talking about and your evidence is nonsense.

1. You sound like a right winger with that "blame-America Marxism of his college professors" statement that was used against Obama by the right. Obama was not nor is a progressive but an "establishment" Democrat, a Clinton Democrat, and so continued existing policies in most cases rather than changing them.

2. The Democrats are not "going out of their way to defend tariffs". Although tariffs have their place, such as helping end dumping,

3. Trump is the logical conclusion to what Reagan started, to make government small enough to drown in a bathtub such that it couldn't regulate the wealthy nor control conservative infringement on rights as is happening in every state that they control.

4. Progressives see government as a necessary control of the wealthy and so have sought to use it as such, unlike the GOP that sees fit to allow the wealthy to become oligarchs and take control of government because libertarians and conservatives see the rich as better people who should lead.

5. Trump is not progressive by any measure, he's an authoritarian who has committed treason in his willful violation of the constitution with the full support of the GOP. All should hang.
