@ReformdReaction @nydwracu @brooksbayne Of all of the idiocy in Mbug, his linkage of Puritans to progressivism is most ludicrous.
@____Martin indeed. Progressives are not literal puritans. They are the social & intellectual descendants, with no revolution intervening

@____Martin modern protestants are also descendants, of course. There was a split. Which branch from the split is now dominant? -

@ReformdReaction@____Martin that's an interesting point. I think there might be something in it, particularly here in UK

@anomalyuk What in Puritanism makes progressives their "descendants"? Certainly not theocracy- Mormonism was theocratic, led to conservatism -
@____Martin anglophone protestants have never been theocratic - they say what is good & pressure rulers to do what they say is good
