      The fox news types conflate those because they use it to mean social liberalism, not economic liberalism. Which is funny because the republican party is economic liberals too lol. Just like the “communist” democratic party which of course is neoliberal not communist.

              Yeah, it’s the definition of the word. Can be really confusing if you live in a country that has a Liberal Party which are usually about as Liberal as the DPRK is Democratic, a People’s Republic, or Korea.
