Can you elaborate? Love her content, wonder if I’m missing anything about her I’m not aware of.

Some internet leftists are anti-jokes and our greatest insult is to call someone a liberal.

What do you mean by this?

In the US, we use liberal to describe a person who is left of center on the political spectrum, who is not a socialist. And we use conservative or neo-liberal to describe someone right of center.

Is the goal to make fun of people left of center or to make fun of people right of center? I honestly cannot tell from the above conversation. This may simply be regional based confusion on my part.

Center to center right. Liberals tend to see themselves as left of center though and the word has very little meaning overall. I was mostly just making a joke though.
