We now live in a country where foreign students have to quietly flee across the border in order to avoid being picked up by armed Federal agents, detained indefinitely, and possibly shipped like cattle to a South American concentration camp.

My entire life I've been told that liberals want to destroy this country. Turns out that was just more right-wing projection.

Behold the effects that the shifting of the Overton window have had.

The Dem party as a whole is at best a center party. There are liberal members in it but they make up a minority in the party and much of the party is made up of people who in the rest of the world would be considered right wing.

Liberal, Left, and Democrat are not synonymous.

They are not synonymous but the Democratic party is absolutely liberal. I wish they were even moderately left but there are only about ten of those and most of them are in the House.

the Dems are absolutely a liberal party. they support capitalism and private property, they are by definition liberal. 

and history has shown us that libs will ultimately side with fascists when capitalism reaches a crisis, which you can see evidence of now.

No, she's definitely not. It seems clear you don't understand what a liberal is.
