Seriously. The so called liberals gain more than they lose by being referred to as such. These people are not liberal, especially in this day and age.

These people aren’t liberals, they are Communists.

I'm an actual liberal and I just registered Republican. I'm taking the term back.

Make Liberalism Classical Again!

‘Liberals’ and ‘progressives’ in America are the most authoritarian and regressive people who exist. Commies love destroying language for propaganda points.

You mispelled leftists.

True liberals reject authoritarianism.

I like to call them anti-constitutionalists.

Commies or leftists. Liberal and progressive were hijacked by the left. They are always refining words to disguise their true selves. Kind like the Devil.

It's worse.

They hijacked the term "left."

They are right-wing.

They are the right-wing authoritarians we were warned about.

WE are the left-wing progressives. We want to be left alone. Small government.

They want power and control. Big government.

Goes back to 1789.

Just like the "party switch."

Fuck the European idea of left and right. Europe is filled with political morons controlled by a corrupt global elite that has infected our great nation. We need to remove this cancer before it kills the nation and our families.

More.

The Press and the Academics like to pretend that we're on the "European Political Axis" from "Government controls the people" to "Government controls the companies that control the people".

The Left is on that axis. CNN, MSDNC is totally on that axis. The Right's "Think Tanks" and the 4% of the Republicans that are still not-for-Trump, and half of Fox and all the RINOs and useful idiots of the Right - they are on that axis. See: Mittens. Chris Wallace, etc.

The bulk of everyone isn't even on that axis. (Even the 'actual liberals' if any remain) But the press sees it as their full-time job to pretend we are. And, as you say, to disguise "Leftists" as "Liberals".

There are no liberals in the current democrat party. Liberal is very different from leftist.

Just remember this that the word "liberal" means:

"open to new behavior or opinions",

"concerned mainly with broadening a person's general knowledge and experience, rather than with technical or professional training"

"liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law".

Leftists hate free speech, use cancel culture to get opposing views, behavior/opinons cancelled, are not concerned with broadening their own knowledge, hate liberty to the point where they will report you for not wearing a mask, don't believe in equality before the law (openly racist towards whites as well as conservatives, will send you to prison for life if you are right winger and support Trump - e.g. Flynn).

hypocrisy + double standards + cognitive dissonance + lots of emotions = leftists

I honestly think we'd earn more actual liberals to our side if "we" quit referring to the commie scum as liberals

Indeed, the modern left has thrown liberalism, republicanism, and tradition completely overboard. They are as anti-liberal as they are anti-conservative.

I switched to leftist a while back. Seems to be more fitting.

No. The liberals allowed this to fester and take over their namesake. By refusing to call them liberal you're relieving liberals of that responsibility and giving the commie rats an easy out.

"I'm not a liberal, I'm a CLASSICAL Liberal(tm)" is just the 2020 version of "I'm not a socialist, I'm a DEMOCRATIC socialist." Dont be fooled by this attempt to rebrand. Commie scum will always use nice sounding names, but while you're wasting time and resources trying to rename them in the popular zeitgeist; they'll cheerfully shed their skin and adopt another moniker with no effort at all.

Just focus on pinning the snakes to the wall.
