        From a political science perspective (and for most people outside the USA), most of the US has liberalist ideology, including Republican voters. The electoral system is called a liberal democracy. The country rallying cry is for “freedom”; liberty.

        US mass media simply started calling progressive liberalism “liberalism”, conservative liberalism “conservativism”, and classical liberalism “libertarianism”. It’s silly and confusing, but it’s the world we’re in right now.

        I’m sorry, I realize I was a bit ambiguous so please allow me to correct myself.

        CNN is so fucking liberal. Better?

        Im assuming the user is not a right winger, but instead a communist or anarchist.

        Both hate liberals, but they are very different ideologies.

        Most of the people on Lemmy that hate on liberals are leftists. That’s why you see a lot of solidarity and support for Cuba here, there are a ton of communists this side of Lemmy in particular.

          Yeah you got me, I misunderstood the post. I just wanna see the entire GOP swinging from a tree then I’ll worry about the fuckin pussy libs. In my eyes that what happened last election, other than elon owning the company that counts the votes. I’d prefer to get rid of extremists first, then I’ll deal with that lump of wasted votes. In any case, eat the wealthy, skull fuck the gop, drink from their skulls
