I disagree with the last statement; "the progressive movement creating a deep divide between it and progressivism" That does not make any sense at all. And modern conservatism HAS NOT adopted any of the Classic liberalism as I see it!
Modern conservatism exists to serve the ultra elite and huge corporations and make them richer, and does not incorporate 'the common people's interests as such!

There are those on both the left and right who call for American unity. But these calls are either naive or disingenuous. Unity was possible between the right and liberals, but not between the right and the left.
Liberalism – which was anti-left, pro-American and deeply committed to the Judeo-Christian foundations of America; and which regarded the melting pot as the American ideal, fought for free speech for its opponents, regarded Western civilization as the greatest moral and artistic human achievement and viewed the celebration of racial identity as racism – is now affirmed almost exclusively on the right and among a handful of people who don’t call themselves conservative.
Our founding fathers were liberal. One of the last real liberals is Joe Lieberman!
