They are progressives, but we mislead everyone by indirectly lending them false credits.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it be the transgender movement\u2019s deterioration of women\u2019s rights, the climate alarmist movement\u2019s undermining of our economy, or BLM\u2019s assault on race relations, the damage of progressives is evident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-rise-of-the-transgressives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BENSHAPIRO: The Rise And Fall Of The Transgressives<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is obvious that race relations are causing problems.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous speech on August 28, 1963. \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d Speech during the march on Washington.

Instead, it comes from a place that believes racism is only skin deep.<\/p>\n<p>It is our responsibility as conservatives to preserve all that is good and American tradition. Those were things that might have been possible ten years ago, such as lower taxes or access to guns rights. Today it is about pushing back against one the most destructive ideologies of American history.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is a small step, we can all make a difference by changing our vocabulary.
