Just because you choose to rot your mind with cable news doesn’t mean the rest of us do.

Who is rotting your mind?

No one in particular.

Because its a well known dog whistle.

Who told you that?

I don’t recall the first time I heard it.

Maybe while you were sleeping …

Seems unlikely.

Good luck with that.

With what? I’m not trying to do anything.

It’s as good of a guess as any, and better than many.

Prog” is not a common abbreviation of progressive in regards to the political label.

Yes it is.

Where?

@WuWei

@fallenturtle

And as you are painfully aware the everyday usage of “liberal” without a modifier is still associated with social liberalism and not classical liberalism.

No it isn’t.

So all these links about liberals are referring to classical liberals? https://hannity.com/search/liberal

What does your perceived need for a “qualifier” tell you?

Not at all.

What are you talking about? Everyday usage is everyday usage.

It tells me the word was corrupted.

No it isn’t.

And I provided evidence that you were wrong. The fact that you think it was corrupted is irrelevant because if you go to a random person on the street and ask them what liberals believe they would very likely describe a social liberal and not a classical liberal.

Tells me just how effective indoctrination/propaganda is.

“Random person” does not give validity to crap.

Always a conspiracy theory with you.

You could go to 1000 random Americans and ask them and the vast majority would define a social liberal.

When our own gracious host uses the word “liberal” he’s referring to social liberals.
Almost any right-wing site if you search for “liberal” you fill find countless references to social liberals, not classical liberals.

You can’t gaslight the whole country, Sneaky.

Tell me what is liberal about what you espouse.

You’re living proof to my theory…

Social liberal? Why did you add social to liberal? Is that attempt to change the very meaning of liberal?

And? I’m talking about the everyday usage of the word and how most people understand the word to represent when not used with a modifier. So yea, the “populum” is who we are talking about and their opinion proves my point.

I don’t consider myself a liberal. I’m sure there are things I espouse that you would consider liberal, like civil liberties, the people having a say in their government, and things you would consider illiberal, like regulations and laws.
