Lemmy right wing. Not liberals.

Liberals are anti trump. Only right wing people support trump.

Liberals are right-wing.

Not in the U.S they aren’t.

Definition

Noun

a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare. “she dissented from the decision, joined by the court’s liberals” 2. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise

Liberalism is right-wing because it supports capitalism. It isn’t the only right-wing ideology, but anyone calling themselves “progressive” that opposes moving on from capitalism to socialism is in fact holding progress back from where it needs to go.

That’s a moot point.

I agree capitalism will stop progress.

But if these individuals support social progress, even if they incorrectly believe it can be achieved within capitalism, this does not make them Republicans.

The distinction between left and right in the U.S is democratic and Republic ideologies.

Social progressives vs traditionalists.

Support for capitalism is not the dividing line. It never has been.

You can all pretend liberals are the cause of all your problems.

The right wing is the actual cause of our slip into fascism. They worked to get their own people into every seat. Plenty of blue maga. These are not actual liberals. They only ran as Dems to get elected.

The right wing conservatives are the ones stripping women of rights. Of trans peoples rights.

It’s sure as fuck not the liberals.

I’ve given multiple definitions of liberals from multiple sources and you all just pretend that’s not the definition.

That your personal definition is the “real” one and call anyone who disagrees as uninformed.

I can use Google. Apparently you cannot.

You don’t get to just make up your own definition and push it and pretend that everyone else , all other sources are wrong.

And besides.

Instead of blaming liberal progressives who push for civil rights , environmental controls, and taxes on the rich, you should consider what it is that you have contributed to this country by pretending to be better than the people actually advocating for these progressive changes.

What have you done to make this country better?

You remind me of those Christian fundamentalist who think they are better than everyone else because they stick to rules they made up.

Honestly it all feels like you all must either be grifters or infiltrators.

No one believes this b.s that liberals are the problem right now.

We all know it’s the conservatives. The Republicans. The right wing and especially the alt right.
