Interesting that he phrased it as liberalism.

The American definition of Liberalism is the exact opposite of the original meaning, so maybe he was just being extra-oldschool?

What do you consider to be the original meaning?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Neo liberal / laissez-faire applies to both major parties in the USA.

Although, it's certainly becoming less so with the GOP than the Democrats. IE: bailouts for farmers affected by their own tariffs, mass deportations which will affect business, etc.

Sure, and what ideological branch does a right winger who doesn't follow liberalism fall under?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Is a "right winger" who doesn't follow liberalism even a "right winger" at all, insofar as the term is used in modern US politics? Considering that without the central bird of liberalism there wouldn't be a need for the division into right and left wing. Maybe I'm off the mark, though?
