"Liberals" never wanted freedom. Those who advocate for ever-bigger government are not freedom lovers. "Liberals" always wanted power. Now that they have it, they have dropped their "anti-establishment" facade.

The word liberal shouldn't come anywhere near the description of the modern Democrat. There's nothing liberal about them. They've transitioned from earnest Progressives to unrelenting Utopianists. Most of the cultural issues they promote are just a misdirection to distract people, especially young people, from the fact that they are both poor and miserable thanks to decades of Progressive meddling and institution destruction.

True, true, all true. The last time I spoke with my mother, she accused me of being ... wait for it ... "far-right"! Yes, my *mother* somehow bought the absurdist nonsense that antiwar critical thinkers are now all "far-right" extremists. Western civilization was already swirling the drain, but now it is doomed.
