Do you notice how you never hear liberals, in general, talk about "safe spaces" or "being triggered"? It's because they don't. Those are just terms heard on random college campuses in news stories and then the rightwing, in their simplistic thought processes, generalize liberals as talking about these things? I had never heard those terms until some republicans on this forum explained them.
Do you notice how you never hear liberals talk about how everyone should be on welfare and the government should take care of them instead? It's because they don't.
Do you notice how you never hear liberals say gay people should have special rights? It's because they don't.
Do you notice how liberals never say we should ban all guns?
You get the idea.
A liberal in reality is someone that believes in a mixed economy(social democracy), fairness for all and believes in the humanist ideas of education, science and self betterment.
What the far right thinks we're are a bunch of cuban or soviet style Leninist that want the same thing as Lenin in the USSR. Pretty much a massive state dictatorship that wants to control every element of production and force people to conform to the will of the thugs at the top to get to the governmentless dream of Marx that never comes to past. They say of course that they care about the little guy but truly never have...
Liberals love capitalism
Liberals love political freedom
Liberals love freedom
Liberals of course believe in a public sector and investment in ones country!
I'd take up arms against a real Lenin/marxist state dictatorship.
Here's the thing: The Democrat party has been hijacked by far-left non-liberal leftists.
So when a "righty" sees "liberal" they immediately assume it's a far leftist which may or may not be the case.
Even some of the snowflake leftists call themselves liberals when they are actually Cultural Marxists or Leftist Communo-Anarchists. They don't make the distinction among themselves either, thereby adding to the confusion.
Simply not true. If it were, Clinton would not have been the nominee. There is no Democratic equivalent of the Tea Party or any organized movement driving them to the left as there has been on the Republican side.
They're called Sandernistas.
