Likewise, I don't agree with much of the characteristics prevalent among the Progressive ethos, which is why I'm not one.
​
I'm wondering what is this putative "progressive ethos".
​
As university faculty (retired), I've known quite a few people who should probably be considered progressive. I don't think any of them pay attention to Sean Penn, other than to watch some movies that he might be in.
​
When the news media have become a branch of the entertainment industry, these things get exaggerated way out of proportion.

No more so than making a case about conservative ideology by questioning Donald Trump.
The progressives that I have been hearing are not questioning Donald Trump. They are questioning why so many who call themselves conservative are supporting such an empty shell as Donald Trump.
