I get that liberal now means progressive in other countries, but does it need to? Separating the two would be so useful today when much of the left is desperate to never see misinformation and views they disagree with. Many conservatives are this way too but we've always known that. It's already in the term they use. #LiberalValues

#MAGA is the illiberal right.

The #woke are the illiberal left.

They demand that you agree with them re what the truth is and reject the democratic process in government. The Enlightenment was a mistake. They think some people just might be evil, not worth reasoning with.

It's important to make this distinction because many more people are conservative or progressive than fit into these groups. And the rise of these detrimental groups can be reversed by embracing #LiberalValues on all sides.

What makes you liberal is opposing the illegal forced change of government no matter the ideology or partisanship of the parties involved. An illiberal progressive or conservative just cares about the results. A liberal cares about the public understanding being truthful and the variety of interests being heard and competing fairly. #LiberalValues

Without empathy, thinking you've got all the answers and the people who disagree are idiots, can make perfect sense. More intelligence doesn't help us address that basic human failure. You must be able to step outside of yourself to see the value in a more open system, otherwise you will see them as at best speed bumps to your glorious vision. #LiberalValues

It's all subjective. When you recognize that and choose to weigh everyone else's right to define what is true and how to live together equally, you end up with #LiberalValues.

Talk about politics as if everybody is a mix of both self-interest and trying to advance some vision of the better life for others. Nobody is evil but we're all definitely working with limited information and a bias built on our own life experiences. And if they are powerful in this broken system, they're also probably willing to mislead others for private or public goals.

Skepticism but not cynicism. A space to find compromise but not be taken advantage of.
