Once people see themselves as "progressive"--which in their minds also means "virtuous"--they have put themselves on a slippery slope wherein they are obliged by this identity to support, and even promote, anything that gets claimed to be "progressive" by other "progressives." And, of course, part of the ethos of progressivism is that it has to keep progressing! You can't debate them on any such position because they are personally embedded in it. And once they get a job and social status doing it they are unreachable.
