I submit progressives (as opposed to classical liberals) are motivated by self serving ideals. They believe that if they are willing to lower their own values, people with superior values will accommodate them.
Therein lies the problem. Superior values are meant to elevate and challenge others- and that is the problem. Conservatives believe they have better ideas and are willing to debate those ideas. Progressives believe they are better people and thus all their failings are acceptable because they 'mean well'.
