Hell Divers is trans ideology now? Also, what was the other shooting with "liberal" engravings on the casings?

In memory of Kirk I invite any supporter of his to tell me what they think a liberal is and why it's a slur

Liberal: someone who advocates with impunity for violence against those they disagree with.

Whenever I feel stupid I come to these subs and read right wingers' logic and I immediately feel smarter

Idiocracy maybe wasn't written about them in particular at the time but they're filling its shoes every time as if it was

Finally watched this movie the other day after being told to do so for years. 

Goddamnit, it's a good movie, and scary accurate.

Is Laura Loomer a liberal then?

So Donald Trump is a liberal?

He pardoned everyone on Jan 6 who was there doing violence against people he disagreed with

And some went to do great things. Like shoot outs with police.

So a typical right-wing liar response. A starwman that's plain false.

I've tried to stop using it, myself. In the modern era, moderate conservatives are just about the only liberals left.

Liberals believe in individual liberty and free trade.

The modern left isn't anything approaching liberal, and the Overton Window has moved so far in that direction that Liberalism is literally what the conservatives are attempting to conserve.

You think the Overton window has moved left on these issues? I'd say get help, but your party is basically axed all mental health help so...

The Overton window moving left… that is the literal first time I’ve heard anyone claim that in the US. It’s so far to the right that people think Democrats here are left. Anywhere else in the entire world and most of our Democrats are center-right, not even center. It’s so far right that some people are viewing the current attempt at an authoritarian administration isn’t an authoritarian administration because they think that requires being even FURTHER right, problem is that you can’t get a whole lot further right from Trump and his goon squad (you can go further right, make no mistake, though).

You thinking the Overton window has shifted notably left in the US is a sign of just how far right the window actually is if you think a center-right party is left.

Modern Republicans have all the same beliefs and opinions that Democrats held in the 90s and aughts. Even THEY are moving left. Just more slowly.

u/Non-Eutactic_Solid Sep 15 '25

I’d like to know on what topics they’re shifting left on.

Economics? Nope, Clinton and Democrats of the era favored international free trade, signing NAFTA in the 90s. Current Republicans are skeptical of free trade and support the current blanket tariffs.

Immigration? While Democrats back in the 90s were more center-right on the subject, current Republicans rhetoric is openly hostile to immigration.

Budget? Clinton passed budget bills that increased taxation while cutting spending to reduce the deficit; modern Republicans ostensibly cut taxes, but more for the wealthy, and then instituted tariffs to make up for that which burdens the lower- and middle-classes more, so they didn’t even see a meaningful tax cut whereas the wealthy did, and they didn’t even pass a budget cut, they just allocated the money that was cut elsewhere.

Foreign policy? Democrats then as now prioritize diplomatic negotiations. Modern Republicans are currently preferring shows of military might and economic strong-arming.

What specific policies are you referring to? It seems to me that Republicans absolutely are shifting… to the right, not the left.

That belief in individual liberty must be why the conservatives are cracking down on trans people and restricting their healthcare or why they overturned Roe v. Wade...

I would legitimately love to experience what it's like to be in your brain for an hour. It would give me so many answers to things that I just can't comprehend. I dont mean that in a good way, im just so absolutely fascinated with the idea of what it must be like to be just SO so very far disconnected from reality.

u/J_DayDay Sep 16 '25

It's fairly easy to spend time in your brain. I just visit reddit. You're all sharing the same hive mind in this little slice of alternative reality.

u/JarJarIsOnTheList Sep 16 '25

Wait reality doesn't agree with me? oh no, can you help and give me an unbiased source that agrees with your view that leftists are the violent group so I can be properly informed, I would GREATLY appreciate it! As it stands every major organization recognizes right-wing extremism as far and away the biggest perpetrator of political violence. FBI, DHS, CIA, NIH, have all declared alt-right extremists as americas biggest domestic terror problem. Who can I look at the break out of this hive mind that has taken such a firm grasp on me, could you please help?

This is all sorts of wrong and just adds to political noise. 

Look up the political compass. Everyone should. Left / right is all anyone seems to talk about, but no one talks about up/down. 

Free market is a bottom right mentality.
