The use of this term has been part and parcel of the argument that both parties are the same, largely pushed here by the far left. (The GOP doesn't see both parties as the same, they see theirs as "Correct" and the Dems as Communists, although now the MAGAs are starting to call the Dems and non-MAGA GOPpers the "uniparty&quot .

Nonetheless, nowhere in the USA, should the phrase "liberal" be attached to the policies of the conservatives.
