This. Never understood the term in the first place, is this something I'm not american enough to understand? Isn't there a substantial difference between right-liberal and left-liberal?

Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism, so everyone supporting capitalism is technically a liberal.

Libtard? If it’s that, I’m sorry. I threw that in as a joke. And if it’s indeed ableist…. I mean I guess it’s close to the r word, so I’m sorry that was dumb. If it’s something else…. I don’t know what.

I mean I guess it’s close to the r word,

It's specifically a portmanteau of "liberal" and the r-word

Truth. But… like…. The are are running fucking wild_ so can we maybe put up some sort of resistance to that? No? :( ugh. Fuck it, let’s just cut to civil war or whatever. Should I get my life on track or are we collapsing?

After looking at where my views lie on the political spectrum, I have determined that I am an abomination.
