Interesting take from a LEGAL immigrant.

When I first came to America about 12 years ago I found out that so much we “know” about the country and its people is just not true.

In Europe everyone is told and we all believed that there are these weird American conservatives, who want to tell you what to do - particularly in the bedroom.

He sounds like a moron.

Yeah, progressives care about things like the environment and public health, so they try to persuade people not to be wasteful, not to contaminate, and so on. No one in their right mind thinks Hollywood actors/producers are literally brave, and it's a sign of either his ignorance or his bias that he says so.

...is spot on. That's exactly what many fundamentalist American Conservatives want to do.

Conservatives care more about the environment and public health, want to fix the problems and actually have solutions.

Progressives care but they want to force others at gunpoint to pay for their fantasy.

Nothing a single policy from the progressives can be implemented without forcing people at gunpoint.

Why do they hide both the alleged care and solutions?

Hide? Maybe because the progressives would start yelling and crying every time they hear a different opinion.

WRONG. Anyone who wants to force others at gunpoint to do anything is a radical, if not an outright criminal. That person most certainly is not a progressive.
