Are liberals getting brainwashed to become even more liberal?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

Do you mean the far left? They're already brainwashed. For the most part, I think moderate Democrats have gotten a wake-up call about the far left, and they seem to be dropping the social Marxist woke bullshit of the far left and coming to their senses.

I'm not sure though... BLM is desperate to start some riots right now, so let's see how many of those dorks still think burning and looting everything is sensible now. This week and the weekend is going to be my litmus test for your question.

My political evolution

[Syntosi]

Liberalism is a centrist American political position. I am assuming you are talking about the left wing and potentially people moving further left. The real question I suppose is, who convinced you that this meant liberalism? Because I for one think you might be the brainwashed one since you do not have a particularly good grasp on what is real and what is only in your head.

[Asker]

I disagree with all liberalism. even Thomas Jefferson's type of liberalism

[Syntosi]

Again, it is a centrist belief. Actual left wing ideology is something completely different.

[Asker]

whats a centrist? do they pick and choose what they like

[Asker]

I'm a centrist from the pov I don't think politics matters as much as what politics serves, people, your people. people on the right and the left get caught up in ideas and forget about what matters, people being happy and safe

[Syntosi]

If I put it like this. There is probably around equal numbers of liberals that are part of the Democratic party as there are part of the Republican party.

[Asker]

that doesn't help. are there any issues that are classified as liberal going by your definition

[Syntosi]

Well I guess I would classify American liberalism as the belief in personal freedoms. Things like freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from slavery etc.. Beyond that there are a few branches which touches other areas of politics such as the free markets without government regulations and such but once you start to look beyond personal freedoms then most liberals will start having differing opinions on what else constitutes liberalism.

One day my Democrat friend told me that my party has been hijacked by Democrats, and there are no longer any Republicans. I asked him about his party. He said: "I don't know where they went. I think they moved so far left that they fell off the Earth.🤣

[LazerBean]

Most people are, not just liberals. The average Republican today would be considered liberal 60 years ago.

[Asker]

yeah you would be considered liberal 20000 years ago

[LazerBean]

Yeah, Glad you agree with me

[Asker]

why aren't you how a conservative would be 20000 years ago?

[LazerBean]

Because the world was only created 6000 years ago, silly libral

[Asker]

is your evidence for that what geology has discovered or a genealogy from the bible

[LazerBean]

😂 nice try, snowflake, but I'm not interested in changing the subject

[Asker]

I mean... a kid can believe in Santa and still ask his parents for what he wants. do you not trust the scientific process

[Anonymous]

liberals are so brainwashed they make the far-right look sane, well actually they are the sane ones. funny how closed borders, saving unborn lives, merit over DEI and no gender transitioning is suddenly considered "extreme"

[jshm2]

They are liberal because they are not brainwashed.
