Comedian Adam Carolla recently appeared on the ‘Triggernometry’ podcast and talked about the problem with progressives.

Carolla suggests that the issue is that progressives start with something that seems reasonable to most people, but then keep pushing until they arrive at a place so extreme that people start to question things. Then progressives react by insulting anyone who disagrees.

He offers the example of how the left went from marriage equality for gay people to gender surgeries for minors in a matter of just a few years.

Adam Carolla illustrates the slippery slope of the ‘progressive’ movement:

Adam Carolla: “It’s called a progressive movement. And if you take progressive and movement, it means it just keeps going. They never pump the brakes

It always starts with something reasonable. You go, Why shouldn’t a gay couple be allowed to marry so they could have the same rights and privileges, you know, insurance and stuff, you know, whatever.

Give it to them and then we can move forward and we won’t have to argue about this thing.

And then they go, Well, what’s wrong with a little trans story hour?

Well, we’re thinking about trans kids, you know, getting healthy breasts cut off when they’re 13 and taken puberty blockers.

And you’re like, No, I’m not.

And they go, I interesting. I didn’t know you’re homophobic and bigoted. You’re like, what is going on? Well, what’s going on is they keep going.”

Here’s the video:

That is a very sound analysis of progressive politics. We have seen this scenario Carolla describes with issue after issue.
