“Lots of hidden liberals.”

No, NOT liberals. LEFTISTS.

It may seem like semantics, but there is a fundamental difference between the two groups. The liberal disagrees with you, strongly, but respects your right to disagree and the process of politics (which necessarily includes the possibility that their side might lose). Leftists, OTOH, are ONLY interested in the ends - which is them gaining power over as many others as possible. They don’t care about the means from a moral point of view, the only care that the means they use SUCCEED.

Liberals are (IMHO) deluded, naive and (sometimes) just plain stupid/ignorant. Leftists are EVIL.

Just my $0.02.

Good difference. I’ve always lumped the two together.

"...liberals compared to leftwingers..."

Totally agree with you regarding there being a significant difference between the two descriptions.
I have longtime friends who are liberals who wouldn’t hurt an ant. They are ridiculous with their beliefs, yet basically harmless.
Meanwhile there are hardcore leftwinger statists who wish to see us dead, our families dead, and our homes burned to the ground.
