Those darn progressives.
Under Obama, Democrats lost 1030 elections including the WH. Isn't it true that voters are finally becoming more patriotic and conservative?

Your question assumes two things, that Obama and the Democrats are progressive (they aren’t) and that only conservatives are patriotic (they aren’t).
Progressives are perhaps the most patriotic.
It was progressives who fought to end slavery (Yes, isn’t it amazing Republicans were once the ones championing progress.)
It was progressives who fought for women’s right to vote.
It was progressives who were beaten and victimised while fighting to pass the voting rights act.
It was progressives who fought against the war in Vietnam.
It was progressives who fought against the war in Iraq.
Today it is progressives who fight against the DAPL.
Today it is progressives who fight against the devastating effects of Climate Change.
Today it is progressives who fight for civil rights for transgender Americans.
Progressives fight to make America better, on each and every one of those issues the conservatives have been on the wrong side of history, they are the ones looked back upon with shame. When time passes progressives are always the ones who are looked at as the patriots, standing up to injustice.
No,,,, it wasnt,,,, all lies
