Look at the term Liberal in the US. Its an insult.
Look at Conservative here. It means out of touch, greedy evil people who will regress (insert social issue here).
Easy to fleece pockets when people look the other way.

The difference now is those same Liberals would never be taken down today because the MSM media has no interest in smearing them and holding them accountable.
They’d rather attack the leader of the opposition, just like the NDP.
