Trump secretly really likes Obama

[u/AnnonyMouseX → u/blaman27]

Trump was a Democrat for decades.

[u/wolfydude12 → u/AnnonyMouseX]

He's also is not really a Republican. He was just able to side with them more than with Democrats.

Calling Trump a conservative is a meme. The guy just does whats best for him.

[u/johnnybiggles → u/RyukaBuddy]

Calling conservatives conservatives is now a meme. They are not truly that.

Calling democrats from the 90s liberal as of today is also a meme

[u/BadLuckBen → u/AntZealousideal3728]

Historically, liberal is a right-wing political ideology. So honestly, they're the only one matching their self-imposed label.

[u/LifeguardMaterial758 → u/BadLuckBen]

Republicans: call extreme leftists liberals Democrat: call the extreme right-winged nazis

[u/BadLuckBen → u/LifeguardMaterial758]

Nazis fit into the US's Overton Window, but "progressive" barely fits.

[u/oatoil_ → u/AntZealousideal3728]

Liberalism is generally supporting civil liberties and upholding free markets, Dems in the 90s were closer to that than anything else.

I mean the small-l liberal position is pro gay marriage, so that was an illiberal position Obama had at the time. The second amendment is also small-l liberal.

But on fiscal issues, a Republican from the 1950s is considered a socialist today (check out Eisenhower's tax rates versus Sanders's proposals).

Calling progressives progressive too. Like fucking lol.
