They were just champing at the bit for an excuse to get more racist. I can't believe the utter heel turn with their border rhetoric

    they will know I'm referring set of policies broadly under the umbrella of the Democratic Party

    You mean the set of policies that's anti-immigration today but was pro-immigration five years ago? That was anti-queer 15 years ago but is now kinda indifferent to queer people today even tho it was more pro-queer five years ago? The set of policies that was racist sixty years ago and is still pretty racist today, but people colloquially think it's not anymore, unless you're the wrong kind of POC?

    Yeah that's a useful and coherent definition that totally isn't hiding the true nature of liberalism behind a veneer

    I mean hey 75 million plus Trump loving dipshits believe liberalism under the Democratic Party is the new communism so it must be true. It's how people use it, right? So it's a real definition; like orks from 40k we can shift reality with our collective will, but apparently we still can't shift the set of policies

      I am not arguing that Democrats are good and have consistent politics.

      I'm also not going to argue any more on the premise that words are defined in part by how people actually use them. That's just how language works.

        75 million Trump supporters believe liberalism is communism, go argue with them about "how language works" since you know it's according to you just a numbers game
