Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    Republicans are also liberals. At least in the true sense of the word. So it’s low-key funny when they use the term liberal as an insult.

    I myself am not a liberal. Fiscally at least. Socially I’m a progressive.

      I’m just excited to see what happens when they find out their PC has been invaded by libs.

      And then proceeds to own them by deleting them all

      In American political terminology, “liberal” means a different thing than in Europe. It implies being left-wing on social issues. Republicans by definition cannot be liberals (in the American sense of the term).
