    I think that makes you a leftist who hasn’t yet realized that liberalism doesn’t want many of those things.

        They care about them in a performative way. The minute it stands in their way or they can’t use it as a tool to get your support to gain or maintain power they will immediately drop the act. Before Oberfell even Obama wouldn’t give a clear statement of support for gay marriage because it was seen as political poison.

      Most Americans still don’t realize there’s a difference. I’ve been hoping the recent conflict in the Middle East would wake some people up to the major differences between libs and leftists - it sure did for me.

      Leftists are literally losing their job for not supporting Israel and yet liberals are still out here confused about what’s even going on.
