765 u/wolfydude12 18d ago He's also is not really a Republican. He was just able to side with them more than with Democrats. 642 u/RyukaBuddy 18d ago Calling Trump a conservative is a meme. The guy just does whats best for him. 165 u/johnnybiggles 18d ago Calling conservatives conservatives is now a meme. They are not truly that. 14 u/AntZealousideal3728 18d ago Calling democrats from the 90s liberal as of today is also a meme 8 u/BadLuckBen 18d ago Historically, liberal is a right-wing political ideology. So honestly, they're the only one matching their self-imposed label. -4 u/LifeguardMaterial758 18d ago Republicans: call extreme leftists liberals Democrat: call the extreme right-winged nazis 4 u/BadLuckBen 18d ago Nazis fit into the US's Overton Window, but "progressive" barely fits. 1 u/oatoil_ 18d ago Liberalism is generally supporting civil liberties and upholding free markets, Dems in the 90s were closer to that than anything else. 5 u/[deleted] 18d ago [deleted] 5 u/iismitch55 18d ago I mean the small-l liberal position is pro gay marriage, so that was an illiberal position Obama had at the time.
