      Yes that’s why Fox News does that. It’s called poisoning the well. They do it to drive the narrative that the left and the right are equivalent.

      yes, a Liberal

      America has some stupid redefinition of these words, people like Thatcher, Regan, Clinton, Boris Johnson, etc… are all Liberals

        this is just called pendantry. I’ve heard this a million times, but it doesn’t change a damned thing about how millions of people use the word. at that point it’s an alternate definition.

          and how millions of people use the word doesn’t change how billions use the word, because this is literally an America vs. rest of the word thing

              I wasn’t the one being confused/upset about people using the word “Liberal” correctly, Omega_Haxors used it very much correctly, and you got upset the rest of the world doesn’t use American definitions.

              now you are unironically getting upset at me for “pretending I don’t know what Americans mean”, How entitled do you have to be, to be upset the rest of the world isn’t using your definition?
