Why do you call Democrats "liberals?"?

So I noticed that many of the Republican posters on here call Democrats "liberals," ...is it cultural? I mean no offense, just curious.

    everyone uses 'liberals' to mean their own thing.  including two people who seem to be agreeing with each other.  this has been true since i joined ya many yrs ago.  notice how you said republican without knoing they re republican.

    im not a republican not even  voter.

    youre a liberal though.  i can tell.

    It's simple really it's because virtually ALL LIEberals are demoCROOKS and virtually ALL demoCROOKS are LIEberals so the terms are almost ALWAYS interchangeable AND just like most LIEberal left socialist demoCROOKs interchange republican and conservative!

    It's kind of how it's been since the 70s. Liberals today are mentally ill radical leftists.

    Classic liberals are today's alt-right.

    The kkk Democrats are still racist as hell and use identity politics to trick people.

    So now you have these leftists who throw the dictionary definition at people while completely acting like the opposite

    To conservative morons, everything to their left is a communist, and they associated communism with being 'liberal'.

    The funny thing is that when they turn to their right, they see absolutely nothing, since they are sitting on the shoulder of fascists.

    To many, the terms leftist, communist, fascist, liberal and Democrat are interchangeable.   Now ask why.....

    Because the Democrats changed into radical Leftist Marxists, and the conservatives are wrestling with that change slowly. Painfully so. They never got the idea that Liberalism isn't like that in the classic sense. So they still use the term liberal to describe them. Prager U is right about the change.

  • The definition of liberal is "someone who supports positive reform."  The Donnietards are illiterate, so they don't know that.
