That sounds like the definition of liberalism rather than progressivism. I don't think the progressive movement has ever really fit under your definition -- or even wanted to. I think what you may be seeing is more people shifting from liberalism to progressivism (at least in certain communities like this).
Many liberals like DHH who don’t stay up to the minute eventually get cancelled.
The US left is unrecognizable from just a few years ago. I couldn’t imagine being able to dissent on anything in public.
And who knows what will be outlawed in the future.
Hopefully it all collapses somehow.
