This is what discourse used to look like. The “sides” used to disagree on solutions but generally agreed on the problems. Here is Jimmy Dore a classic old school liberal whom is no Trump superfan pointing out how folks like Bill Mahr have serious issues when it comes to Trump all while totally ignoring everything else. This was a great segment that shows people can agree on stuff and how insane some folks are.

May 24, 2023 at 10:41 pm #300040A big mistake people make is lumping all liberals with the crazy Progressive/Leftists.
I have many liberal friends that agree that all this crazy progressive stuff is getting way too out of control & now we have the whole Target thing.
You can debate & discord with a Liberal, not so with a Progressive Leftist.May 24, 2023 at 10:55 pm #300043Originally, liberalism emerged among the political right. The bourgeoisie was considered right wing until the 70s or 80s. Classic liberalism was essentially libertarianism.
The early left wing / socialist movement, which grew in power after the French revolution, was against free markets and often against private property rights.The left was never liberal except for a brief hickup during the 50s and 60s in the US, when the left supported “sexual liberation”, drugs, abortion and artistic freedom, while the at that time conservatives were pushing for massive censorship and draconian punishments for drug use. 20 years for smoking pot was a thing.
