1st law of leftism and Democrats – who also embody everything they project on America (they have always been the party of racism for instance). True liberalism, at least in a definition I remember from childhood, is freedom – “give me liberty or give me death.”
The most illiberal and regressive people have hijacked the terms “liberal” and “progressive.” Actual liberty and actual progress are both good, and both despised by Democrats and left wing politicians. The issue is many that support actual liberalism and actual progress have for too long been fooled by the hijacking of the terms (I know I was out of grad school, but I did open my eyes). Lets hope more people realize their error as I did (and I’m still not 40 yet).
