I'M TIRED OF "LIBERAL"
BEING USED AS AN INSULT.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU THE VOTE.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU EQUALITY.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU FREE SPEECH.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU YOUR
INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
LIBERALISM IS THE ENEMY
OF TYRANTS, AND I'LL BE
FOREVER PROUD TO DEFEND IT.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

No problem. I much more respect anyone, especially journalists given the power they can have to influence readers, who admit when they're wrong or have made mistakes. He sounds like an honest journalist.

First posted sometime in Trump's first term, still perfectly applicable in 2025 and beyond, surely more so...

* Text in this (probably Facebook) post during Trump's first term, still perfectly applicable in 2025 and beyond, surely more so:

The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.
