Oh no, someone has a nuanced take! Downvotes incoming.
The issue here is the catch-all terms being used. „Progressive“ is a bit of a mushy term in the first place.
Young people tend to be more idealistic and radical, regardless of the specific political ideology. The young know little, have little experience, and don’t own a lot. That tends to change with age.
Real life experience changes this over time. You notice when ideology and reality don’t align. You notice how implementing an ideology disadvantages you compared to others in some contexts. The cost can become quite high, if you’re deeply ideologically invested.

They are being downvotes because they are confidently misrepresenting almost every topic they talk about. There is nothing nuanced about it. It unironically reads like one my grandkids telling me a story about the fairies that live in their rose bush, but with none of the adorableness.
