      It’s the mix of total ignorance and complete smug confidence that makes you people so loathsome.

      Liberalism is inherently a conservative ideology. Liberalism doesn’t mean “not hating gay people”. The progressive and leftist movements within a dual capitalist two party system have worked within the Democratic party to achieve incremental improvements. It’s why you think “liberal” means “left leaning”. It does not.

      The Republicans and Democrats are both “Liberals” and they are both currently supporting the rise of fascism in their own unique role.

      Please go look up what the rest of the entire world means when they say “Liberal”. Then you might be capable of having the vocabulary to understand this conversation.

      You don’t understand history then.

      Conservatism was a specific response to liberalism. Liberalism said power comes from private property. Conservatism said power comes from the sovereign.

      Fascism protects private property

          Study history. Both Italy and Germany protected ownership rights and did not establish a return to an individual sovereign nor an aristocracy.

          You are operating from vibes, not reality. Fascism as you know it has literally only ever emerged from a liberal democracy
