Originally coined by conservatives hoping to delegitimize leftist opinions, the regressive left is composed of the more negative aspects of far left political opinions, specifically in such a manner that frowns upon critical thinking in favor of dogmatic thinking. Train of thought most often associated with Social Justice Warriors. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Right.
Such examples include sexism against men by virtue of their gender, racism against white people by virtue of their skin color, granting power to minority candidates by virtue of their minority status, placing minority citizenship above majority citizenship as opposed to wanted them to be equal, Islamic apologetics, using privilege as a detriment of worth regardless of context, etc.

Some on the Regressive Left believe that black people are entitled to reparations from white people, regardless of personal history for either, because one person's ancestors wronged another person's ancestors.

Get the Regressive Left mug.A punchline to a popular joke involving a man and his wife who asks him a purely hypothetical question, "If I died, would you remarry". The punchline, for those of you who don't get it, is explained at the very bottom of the example.
A young married couple are taking a nice stroll down a long and rather winding road. There was a long way till they got home and there was plenty of time to have a long drawn-out conversation, so the wife decided to ask her husband a question she had on her mind for a long time:
Wife: "If I died, would you remarry."
Husband: "No, I love you too much to get married to a different woman."
Wife: "But you love being married, don't you? So honestly. You'd get remarried wouldn't you?"
Husband: *sigh* "Yeah, I guess I would get remarried eventually"
Wife: "Would you and your new wife live in our house?"
Husband: "Yeah, where else would we live"
Wife: "Would you take down all the pictures of me and you together?"
Husband: "Yeah, it would be very discourteous to her not to. I'd still keep the ones of me and you in my private drawer"
Wife: "Would you two sleep in our bedroom?"
Husband: "Yeah, where else would we sleep?"
Wife: "Would she use my golf clubs?"
Husband: "No, she wouldn't be able to. She's left-handed!"
Wife: ...
Husband: "SHIT!"

explanation
Him saying that she's left-handed implies he already has someone to get remarried with, meaning he's been cheating on his wife.
