You'd think this rather obvious truth and the pattern of political progress would persuade a lot more people to relinquish strongly regressive policy opinions sooner and to come to grips with the futility of reintroducing them, but no; I've actually heard the argument that "All liberal policy positions are eventually conservative ones."
This is because the notion of progressive/regressive is based on a weird teleological view of history. Amazingly the current culturally ascendant strain of thought keeps turning out to have been, in retrospect, destined and obviously true while it's failed competitors were doomed ignorance. In reality there's no arch to history and there's no real pattern to what we consider progress.

If you got one I liked to hear it.
Like it or not, genetics dose play a role into the behavioral patterns and thought process of different people. Some do think bad things because they do have bad brains in a way. Not that it's their fault to begin with anyways. There are stupid people who endanger everyone and there are the unfortunate. The former I would gladly get rid of in a heartbeat if it were possible and taken care of in a manner that limits the most consquences.
I suppose my definition of insanity is complicated or maybe just not what it actually means but I don't understand how some people function like they do and not expect me to think they are deprived from the harsh world of reality. I think it's insane that people who have illogical views are represented by the people that think that same person is the type of person that be willing to fix problems rather then make it worse. It boggles me and worries me.
I suppose I don't care much for humanity anymore. I just watch people do stupid, insane stuff and wonder how they function and how they came up with certain though processes. The human mind is...fragile to say the least.
You're really painting a terrible picture of of yourself rather then of others. Have you considered that so many people might have incomprehensible opinions to you because you aren't very good at comprehending?
