Who is this liberal group who does not disagree with trump? This grouping of people and ideologies is insane. Are people who agree with trump now also liberals? Is satan liberal?
The article makes no real points, so dunno what there is to counterpoint? This magical group of “liberals” is evil and bad and fails at everything. The group changes paragraph to paragraph. Maybe they mean to say democrats? Or democrat votera? Or americans? Or the west? Or jews?
Or they have defined “liberal” to mean some evil western leadership who has meaningful power but chooses not to use it because they actually agree with the way shit is going down.
Maybe those liberals are evil. But it’s a non-opinion. Evil people are evil!
Yes, conservatives are a subset of liberals. What we think of as “liberals” in the US is really a narrow category of the DNC’s policy positions, but both the GOP and DNC are liberal parties supporting capitalism and demonizing socialism.
Liberal in the non-US world is center-right at best. Full right at worst. The Dems outside the US are seen as center-right in some points and right in others.
I guess it comes down to semantics. I don’t view the word liberal to mean right-leaning, but I guess it depends on your world view and where you come from.
I think one needs to define liberal here; as noted elsewhere what is one persons liberal is not seen as liberal by others. Especially when reading an essay in a non American paper.

I did. Multiple times. Maybe you did not?
You’re really going with “I know you are, but what am I!”?

Liberal -> Economics liberal. Not social liberal. Freedom of movement for the money but not for the people.
Liberalism is by definition right-wing, it’s the ideological justification for capitalism.
