That would be too much work.

It's important to Sebby to posit that progressives are the mirror image of conservatives, because it's foundational to his self image as the guy in the middle who is above it all. Who is largely performative in US politics today? Maybe the political movement that dispensed with a platform? You know, the one that likes to carry flags and mount them in numbers on pick-up trucks, the better to irritate libs with their convoys and boat parades. Boat parades!
So forget stuff like the Green New Deal and single payer and defunding the police and all that. Progressives: largely performative.
Sebby is irritated by progressives, so he calls them largely performative. His scorn for conservatives follows different dimensions.
