Classical liberal: I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Modern liberal: I disapprove of what you say, so I will shout you down. I might even attack you.

I actually don’t think there are any classical liberals left.

no - as dennis Prager has said for a while, there is a big difference between liberalism and Leftie-ism. to call today’s Dems - outside of maybe Fetterman Dean Phhillips - liberals is wrong. they are Lefties.

There are classical liberals left.

They’re called Constitutional conservatives.
