It’s crazy how many of my fellow americans have been so propagandized to. Taught to self-identify with the ideology responsible for most of the problems they seek to solve. Felling a misguided duty to defend it because they perceive any criticism of it as criticism of themselves.
Especially when most of them are so uninterested and even uneducated in terms of economic ideologies in general. Focusing entirely on social freedoms. Better described as progressive or if we are willing to muddy our terms and the waters socially liberal but not liberal. Still willing to die on the hill defending liberalism, however.
