      Surely no true Liberal would be so interested in maintaining the status quo for themselves and their wealthy friends.

        You’re missing the point… Liberals and progressives aren’t the same thing. Trump started calling them that and the media glommed on.

        Neolibs, which Donald Trump actually -is,- are the real threat to the rest of the world. They are the actual “Global Elite” that he goes on about.

        Calling the left “Liberals” is just another case of accusing your enemies of doing the things that you’re doing.

        It’s muddying the waters so it’s harder for the average voter to know what’s going on.
