    Any supremacist is not, by it’s very definition of being discriminating, liberal.

    Liberal is against bigotry of any kind. That’s a core foundation. It supports equality.

    Why are you under the impression that only white racist are alt right and all other kinds are liberals?

    That’s not how that works.

    You can hate whites. Mexicans. Jews. Men, etc. Any support of group discrimination is right wing by its definition because liberals specifically is against bigotry.

      It’s fun watching you define liberalism out of existence. You’ve already made it so the Democrats and their supporters aren’t liberal by your own definition

      My formative childhood years were spent listening to “good, non-bigoted” liberals talk about “killing terrorists” who “hate democracy” because of their “tribal culture”.

          No, the Republicans were simply repeating the phrase “glass the middle east” with their eyes rolled back in ecstasy. Compared to that, the Victorian-era racism of liberals trying to bring civilization spread democracy got a pass for sounding slightly less hitlerian. This dynamic may sound familiar

      Liberalism can claim to stand for whatever, it’s still a fact that liberal governments participated in wars, invasions, regime change operations, economic warfare, genocide.

      Liberalism obscures the systemic nature of problems by focusing on and promoting Individualist ideals. The reason liberalism is in crisis is that it doesn’t work, not that it’s not implemented correctly.
