They aren’t liberals. They are Progs.
Liberals are like a criminal trying to stay one step ahead of the law.
They are changing their name all the time trying to stay one step ahead of their voters and others who are onto their game.
I had a neighbor tell me at a potluck in our neighborhood, that she was no longer a liberal. She was a progressive.
I asked her if they were spelled the same. She sneered at me and walked away, never speaking to me again.
Mission accomplished. :-)
