    And you fuckers called me crazy for saying there was a concerted propaganda effort to conflate “neoliberal” with “liberal”

    Neoliberals are Republicans.

    Liberals are Democrats.

      Reagan was arguably a neoliberal and Bush a neocon, but current Republicans have moved even further right straight to neofascism. The way that liberal democrats serve corporations over people proves to me that there is no longer a meaningful distinction between liberalism and neoliberalism.

        “Kamala Harris is as far right as Ronald Reagan” was not a take I was expecting to see today.

        Although given that this is Lemmy I wish I could say I was surprised.
