"The colloquialisms from the place I am directly talking about don't matter as much as this one I am using, everyone who disagrees is propagandized"
This is what I'm seeing when I read your comment. I can call the sky green all damn day, that doesn't make it green, you dip.
Wow what an insightful response to a user answering your question in good faith! I cannot imagine why you would ever be treated with derision or condescention
You reap what you sow. I figured a tankie would know about planting things but I suppose I was wrong again.
Funny because the other user sowed a civil and good-faith response. I'm used to that resulting in a response in good faith as well, and yet here you are with shit in your diapers acting like a pissbaby. Must be something in the soil
Most civil and good faith lemmylib.
Really? I see them answering the question you asked.
Exactly the same as a chud saying college biology is fake pseudoscience because of the biology they were taught in 5th grade.
In any decent political science education in the states you will also see these definitions. You can stop having a tantrum about it.
Let me oversimplify even more. Donald Trump upholds the American Revolution which turned British America into a liberal republic.
I think Donald Trump is a communist. He takes care of his own, disregards the status quo and talks mad shit about libs just like hexbears.
So it must be true, Donald Trump is a communist liberal.
Suck it westoids.

Americans can call the sky green as much as they want. In the rest of the world, Liberalism = Liberalism, not "democrat".
Liberals are people that believe in liberalism, which can be summed up as "everyone has the individual right to be an asshole, even if it fucks everyone else over".
This isn't a colloquialism. This is a basic definition used within political science.
If you're going to talk politics on a serious level then using the terminology of political science matters and, if that's too much of a stretch, then at least avoid colloquial terms which contradict the terms used in political science.
Locke was a classical liberal. Trump is a neoliberal. This is very simple.
Trump is a neocommunist.
Socialism is when the government does stuff and the more the government does, the socialister it is, and if the government does a whole lot if stuff, it's communism!
Trump quotes Karl Marx regularly and if you can get a look at his left butt cheek you'll see a Che Guevara tattoo.
Total communist, Bigtime, his socialism is yuge.
