    There’s three types of liberal:

    • politically liberal (means you can say what you want)
    • economically liberal (means your company can do what it wants)
    • socially liberal (means you can love who you want)

    typically, it’s important to distinguish which types we’re talking about. An economic-liberal is sometimes also called a neo-liberal, and does typically not help social wellbeing.

      The Fascists have been burning this country down since Reagan.

      The Neoliberals have been refilling their flamethrowers.

      The United States has no major party that protects the people from the oligarch capitalist’s greed. Trump isn’t the cause of that, merely a symptom of it. Without the Kemp/Reagan trickle down grift, and it’s furtherance by both parties ever since in exchange for bribes, Donnie would still be wasting daddy’s money on real estate scams.
