'Wow': Observers horrified by 'scary' Trump brag showing he's following 'Putin's playbook' - Lemmy.World

What’s really terrible is that the media was not even liberal to begin with. The RWAs have been pissing their pants about how the “MSM” is so very liberal for decades when they are anything but.

the media was not even liberal to begin with

Liberals have been eager for regime change in Iran for as long as their conservative peers.

Bombing Tehran is one of the few things Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump can agree on.

I’m using the typical definition of the term liberal, not the online leftist version, though. I know what you are going for, but probably about 5% of the population even grasps the way the online leftists talk about liberals (“shitlibs”) and so on.

We are talking about a population that hears the beginning part of “Libertarian” and assumes that means the equivalent to liberal. Same thing when it comes to neoliberal policies. I bet the number of Americans that understand what neoliberal entails is vanishingly small.

Hillary does not seem all that liberal to me in any case, despite what the far right claims about people like her and her husband and Biden and Obama and Kamala…

Hillary does not seem all that liberal to me

She and her husband have been in leadership within the liberal party of the largest liberal government on earth for… what? 16 of the last 24 years?

If they’re not liberal, who is?

You mean the propagandized definition and philosophical definition, right? Democrats are liberals. Libertarians are liberals. Republicans are liberals.

From wikipedia:

Different liberals espouse various and sometimes conflicting views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support liberal democracy, private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.
