A devout Muslim immigrant oppresses his wife, won't let his daughter learn about birth control, and denounces homosexuals as depraved degenerates. In the eyes of modern progressives he is a thread in the rich tapestry of cultural diversity, and the only possible explanation for denouncing him is bigotry.
The takeaway is that in the identity politics hierarchy, race trumps everything else. Also, it's the duty of all progressives to staunchly defend anything conservatives might oppose, even if they that means defending notions fiercely hostile to liberal principles, or turning your back on liberalism altogether. The only thing that matters is groups and power. Anyone who opposes the group you're trying to topple is your friend.
Really, this is what happens when simple-minded people build an entire credo on opposing any and all beliefs of the patriarchal establishment: perverse contradiction and bewildering folly. This idiocy would be hilarious if it weren't for its creeping takeover of some of our most influential institutions.

Well to be fair, "all progressives" believing in the nonsense you outlined above might be a bit of a stretch. I mean, I don't, so you've already lost one. I know many people who also don't believe it, and they would be called progressives.
Maybe it would have been better to start the whole thing off with "This is my caricature of progressive people..." and continue on from there?
