Yes, I agree. Liberals can be progressives when progress is needed to achieve it but conservatives if it's achieved?https://twitter.com/andrewgripp/status/895473726854094848 …

I think a liberal is someone who believes in progress but isn't synonymous with progressive. That would be contingent.
-
Eg postmodernists have accused me repeatedly of buying into 'the myth of Enlightenment progress' & they're right. I do.
-
I think things have got a lot better & could & should get better still but by 'progress' - building on what we have & refining & polishing.
-
Not by revolution which is not progress but tearing things down & starting again. And not too different in some ways to regress.
-
But I'm not being very clear because I am essentially thinking aloud on something I'm trying to get at but am not clear on myself yet.

very brave to do that in public on twitter! I admire you.
