They used to say a liberal is someone who hasn’t been mugged yet. It turns out that a progressive is someone who gets mugged and then feels guilty about it.
The difference being that old school 80s style liberals were stupid but capable of being educated. Modern progressives have no ability to think critically, it’s been washed out of them by the public schools. They truly are just mindless NPCs that get their minds programmed and then do whatever it says.

The term Liberal has been misused for the past 30 or so years
These leftists are NOT liberals, they wish they were liberals, they want you to think they are liberals cause it is a better term then what they really are: communists
Classical Liberalism is pretty much Modern American Conservatism, the 10 planks of Classical Liberals are:
1) Liberty
2) Individualism
3) Sceptism about power
4) Rule of law
5) Civil Society
6) Spontaneous Order
7) Free markets
8) Toleration
9) Peace
10)Limited Government
These miscreants of today believe in none of that
Zero Tolerance was all about conformity without thinking, using logic, or reasoning. A Pop Tart cutout gun = a real gun. The result is that they think in absolutes without applying a speck of common sense.
