They generally just want people to be tolerant of others. I'd say this place is full of liberals.
Progressives think they know how society ought to be arranged. They'll take care of your health care, they'll tell you what you can and can't say, they'll enforce fairness, and if you're unwilling* to care for yourself, they've got an administrative architecture of programs and incentives that will nanny you properly. (And if you're willing to care for yourself in a way they don't like, they'll fix that.)
Progressives know we're not wise enough to manage ourselves alone. But don't worry. They're benevolent. Handicappers General, "nudging" us in the right direction.

You should talk to the progressives you know to figure out what they think - there are many of us here, I count myself one - and rely less on Fox news characterizations of us.
You sound like a 14 year old white boy who has never left his suburb but just discovered Ayn Rand for the first time.
