I've only ever heard Republicans refer to everyone on the left as liberals. I've literally never hear the word liberal except in online disinformation campaigns.

    Genuinely asking: Have you ever had a serious, good-faith discussion with anyone left-of-liberal? There’s plenty of diversity (and disagreement) there, but any such person will frequently use the term “liberal” to mean something specific and well-defined (as opposed to the right who will use it as a substitute for idk anyone who isn’t enthusiastically bigoted)

    Irl? Yes, I've spoken with plenty left wing people but it is a pretty wide range of personalities from what I've come to find. I've found the smartest people being some of the most deeply compassionate and empathetic people there is.

    Nowadays when I hear liberal in real life it's someone mocking the right wing
