Happy to!
In fact, I'll allow the following honest liberals to do it for me, including the honest liberal Muslim Brit who coined the term.
Now you'll never have to wonder again! You're welcome!
You need to look up comprehensive, as well as the appeal to authority.

Odd isn't it that parrots seem to reign using a circular argument (see: beginning the question for reference). No singular definition describes the entire set of Democrats or Republicans, liberals or conservatives, progressives or reactionaries or professors (teachers), pols, doctors, lawyers, etc.
Of course a political party can be so characterized, especially when a large number of its members, all use the same phrase within hours of each other, and toss members of their own set under the bus.
For example, I don't see neoconservatism as productive, I support diplomacy up and until the opposition puts their fist to our nose [N. Korea being the outliar), and terrorism should have been defined for what it is, as criminal. We've declared war on nouns not to my liking - Drugs & Poverty and lost both times by doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.
You asked, I provided a comprehensive answer.
Again, you're welcome.

You need to look up the word: comprehensive, as well as expository and the appeal to authority.
Sure, okay!
This has to be at LEAST the 12th or so time that a Regressive has demanded a definition of the term "Regressive", that I've provided all the material they could ever need, and that it just wasn't good enough. As I expected.
At least you folks are consistent! Consistency is good! Good on you!

I'm not a "you folks" and in all of my readings (BA double major in Poli Sci & US Hist) has the word "regressive" never appeared, until several months ago. Like snowflake it is nothing more than a pejorative; the root term, to regress is to go back to an earlier time.
"regressive" is one more example of the New Right accusing those of us left of center (but always considered far left by these hacks) as reactionaries, and nothing could be further from the truth. Progress being the root form for the term Progressive, is to move forward. "The left" are those those who support the hoi polloi, and challenge authoritarian governance.
