Bitcoin flows towards people who desire freedom, independence, and free trade without centralized controls. The current "progressives" generally don't fit that label so they won't get it until much later.
But that's actually a good thing, because when rebuilding a strong economic foundation you don't want a high percentage of the wealth in the hands of socialists and communists. Bad ideas lead to bad outcomes, Bitcoin is a good outcome, and that's why people with bad ideas won't understand it.
