  • “Liberal” can mean centrism, capitalism with a human face, capitalism with some socially progressive elements, etc.

    “Leftist” can be anything from “liberal” (as the far-right likes to pretend left=evil), to any form of actual leftism, which also can range from libertarians to authoritarians, with the latter sometimes weirdly being pushed a lot by the right (Fidesz, the Hungarian far-right party masquerading as “moderate, center-right, christian democrats”, have paid off the election debts of Munkáspárt 2006, and now they’re one of their satellites).


    1. A lot of them abstained due to the dems failing to do anything on the state level.
    2. A lot of them who voted just thought the Project 2025 was there to make the libs cry, and no human would be evil enough to execute them all.

    Also a lot of Trump voters in the swing states are already regretting, if it continues, it can very well lead to a civil war, especially if Project 2025 will be executed. Who knows, maybe even the military will have issues with it.



  • Sure, you might be able to get away with it in case of advanced dementia. When my father was an election watcher, he saw christian fundamentalists trying to convince election officiers, that a man so demented that didn’t even realize what was happening, only that those christian fundamentalists talking about how that man used to be voting for Fidesz allegedly.


  • Tankies just want social-democracy without the democracy part (a social-autocracy), and often have the same exact work moralism as hustle bros. We libertarian-socialists, on the other hand, are your friend.

    We tried to get things better by working with liberals. They only wanted our votes. And lately they’ve been giving us less and less reasons to do so, and even less for the less politically literate. If the democrats are going in the direction they’re currently, their only saving grace next election will be that they won’t do further harm, because they were been told by some people they were “too far left”.






  • The con in conservatism is that it convinced billions of people all around the world, it stands for “respectful conversation of traditionalism”, rather than “conversation of power”.

    Besides of the abandonment of the working class, white cishet men were steadily losing their power in society. They no longer can crack jokes at the expense of minorities. They’re no longer guaranteed to get a loving wife that won’t abandon them even if they’re abusive as hell. So the social contract that only existed in their head was broken, and want to undo it all, ASAP, no matter the cost. It’s just conservatives tried to not care about women gaining rights, especially up until women didn’t live with them. Same with the rights of other marginalized folks.
