I wonder if these people will ever figure out how sick Americans on the left are of hearing the word “liberals” used as a hate term. Yes, entirely different meaning, but it’s a great way to get non-conservative Americans to reflexively think whatever they’re reading is totally stupid shit.
Liberal used to be a real political affiliation. Then the extreme right just used it to insult anyone left of them.
Then the extreme left (tankies) used it to insult anyone right of them, including conservatives!
“Liberal” the insult has lost all meaning now. Is it left-wing? Is it right-wing? Who knows‽ It’s both!
