I'm invoking Poe's Law, but I'm afraid it's for real.

My favorite line is : "Sometimes, The Brogressive will describe himself as "socially liberal, but fiscally conservative." This is mainly because he would really, really like marijuana legalized. "

Beware? I actually like Brogressives. I dated some in college and hung out with others and we got on well (apparently I am not an Intersectional Feminist). The term didn't exist 25 years ago when I was dating them (nor did Reddit, Gawker or anything internet) but the men themselves were quite like this description.

This columnist makes the prediction that some of them will eventually become the White Old Man Politician they claim to hate. Some of the ones from my past did do just exactly that. But they remain middle left on the political spectrum (meaning they are all left-leaning Democrats) although more to the middle than they used to be. They are White Old Men Politicians insofar as race can't be changed and gender can only be changed with significant effort and even more significant desire but age changes automatically.

The quoted blog takes a dim view of them but they don't bother me at all. I've always liked them and get on just as well with their middle aged counterparts (future selves of the ones in this article).

Just how do brogressives transform into conservatives? Is it spontaneous?

I think the article is trying to suggest that brogressives are patriarchal conservatives in disguise.
