A. A pervasive counterintuitive political philosophy of a majority of citizens who experience an auto-symptomatic reflex to expect government paternalism and equality by coercion will mitigate unanswerable societal grievances while financially bankrupting Local, State, and Federal Government budgets in the futile exercise that expands government.
B. A political mental state pervasive enough in society that disparages the benefits of individualism and personal responsibility by denying, disseminating and discarding all reason to explain human failure rooted in continuous poor judgment, poor choices, and lack of individual accountability causing generational poverty.
C. Any vast array of laws promulgated by political bipolar statist that maximizes the corrosive effects of replacing the head of household's parental authority over the American nuclear family for single parenthood, illegitimacy, government dependency materializing in negative births rates for decades reducing the size of the self-reliant economic class so vital in the funding of welfare and social safety net retirement programs the politically bipolar advocated for.
D. Any social-political paradigm that rewrites the hierarchy of government responsibilities into law to disguise its motives to control citizens by over taxation, extensive credit burdens, devalued currency circulation and inability to achieve upper mobility or to pass on material wealth to next of kin in whole, to remain in political power.

Used in a sentence: Only progressivirus minded liberals are so divested in the equality for transgender athletes, can demand authorities to include surgically transformed males' participation in women's track and field events thus denying unfairly countless of female athletes opportunities to compete for state records and earn college athletic scholarships.

Get the Progressive Ghost mug.Progressive music is the natural, evolutionary progression a genre.
Originally coined for progressive metal (aka prog metal), it is now used for almost every major genre. (On a side note listening to progressive music is like watching a good movie).
Progressive metal is defined by much lengthier songs, averaging 8-10 minutes each (with instances of 20, 40, and 60 minute songs that are also played live) with heavy emphasis placed on the technical aspects of playing instruments, a continuance of the progression from classical music that it's parent genres, thrash/speed, and heavy metal introduced. The lyrics are an advancement of the poetic harmony introduced in the lyrics of the speed/thrash metal bands Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Exodus. Also...progressive music tends to well up emotional responses very well, especially live.
The progressive metal movement was started by Fates Warning as they began to move from the Iron Maiden like sound of their first two albums. The term however was coined to describe Dream Theater, who is considered by most to be the band that defined the genre.

Get the progressive mug.A political ideology centered around the idea of social, economic, and technological progress.
The traditional Progressive platform usually involves some of the following:
-Single-payer healthcare (especially in the United States)
-Separation of Church and State
-Responsible Gun Regulation (some more-extreme Progressives are anti-gun, but not all of them are)
-Responsible Immigration Reforms (Despite the stereotype, a lot of Progressives do not want open borders)
-More public funding for education, this may also include making public college tuition-free
-More funding for infrastructure
-More funding for science and space exploration
-More funding for social programs
-Less funding for defense and a restructuring of the military to be more defense-oriented and less imperialistic
-The protection of the rights of women, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, people of other faiths or no religion, etc
-Reforms to the political and electoral system to address fraud and corruption.
Not all progressives are screeching SJWs who hate white men, a lot of us are actually quite level-headed and just want a better society.

Progressivism is not about hating men or white people, it's about progress and making society function better.
