I've thought about this scenario and if the progressives had their way, we might see a party system similar to the current one iotl. I'd imagine that suburbanites would trend more "R", but would be cancelled out by more Dem-leaning WWC voters, although neither group is a monolith, so it's harder to tell.  I think such a realignment would lead to a 2012 type system with a solidly GOP IA+OH+FL.

The only states I can see flipping in this scenario are Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire to the Cs. The former two are Dem states, but tend to lean pretty strongly moderate and might wind up choosing the far-right over the far-left. And New Hampshire has a weird streak.
Virginia may make sense as I doubt many of the more moderate hero types in NOVA would approve of a party that essentially wants to  abolish the military. But Colorado and New Hampshire are more libertarian leaning and I know that New Hampshire is a socially liberal state so I'd think they'd stay with the Greens.

New Mexico could be a swing state, but I imagine that immigration would sway enough moderate voters to keep it a Green stronghold. I think that immigration would play a role in keeping ME-2 a swing district as well.

No because the Green Party are just complete kooks, not progressives. They believe in anti-vax and anti-science craziness and note how not a single Democrat in Congress including the squad voted against Ukraine aid. The Green Party meanwhile believes that Ukraine is a Nazi-ran state.
Keep in mind that the Constitution Party is similar on those issues so it would mainly come down to social and economics issues.
