The cool thing is, once you gain some maturity, you don't care what people call you.

As long as they don't call you late for dinner. Amiright?
Are you calling me a liar?
I ain't callin' ya for dinner!
Heh, teddy bonkerz!
That's what a liberal would say
I've been accused of being an "enlightened centrist" when I criticize both Trump and Biden.
Except I'm criticizing them from way over on the far-left.
Thats the thing I dont get about americans, you have a far right and center right party and some people there seriosly think thats thats normal??
It's like that astrophysics phenomenon where the spectrum shifts to one side. I guess redshift in this case since their more far right party is the red one.
The American Right: "We should subjugate and oppress anyone who isn't a straight white christian."
The American Left: "That seems a little aggressive, how about a compromise where we just oppress them a little bit?"
Actual Leftists: "What in the actual fuck...?"
hello fellow liberals, i too would like to partake in leftist activities such as voting for senator bernard sanders (i-vt)
I’d rather be a lib than an actual insurrectionist traitor
I don't think OP was at the Jan 6 riot
Never know, you might have been there as well.
I'm pretty sure the venn diagram of commies and Jan 6 rioters is two separate circles
Who knew it would be capitalist supporters that would actually try to over throw the government instead of commies.
Do you have any awareness of what goes on around you?
It would appear a bit more than you. But hey at least you tried.
...you ok there, bud?
You ain't done nothing if you ain't been called a red
If you've marched or agitated then you're bound to hear it said
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
Cause you ain't been doing nothing if you ain't been called a red

I don't understand half the american terms used for their politics
Me neither. Let's have a tea party and discuss things.
If someone called me the second one I'd say thank you
That's what only a cop hating anarchist would say!
I reply “Stop! Don’t talk to me! It’s contagious! RUN!”
I was recently on the receiving end of this when I implied I might be ambiguously LGBT+. The devout Christian with whom I was conversing disengaged because The Gay could be contagious.
Consider it as a superpower. Making idiots run away from you.
Egg behaviour, lol
I actually much prefer the Han Solo format for this stuff
Now I'm trying to think what would be the equivalent of the "liberal" insult in my country... We hear a lot of you're the "extreme left", just as bad as the extreme right. You're "outside of the republican/democratic frame". As in you're too radical too be part of the "polite democratic society".
The "liberal" insult coming from a right winger would be used in a similar way to what you describe there, but to a leftist "liberal" is also an insult in a very different sense. Leftists basically use liberal as a derogatory for people that aren't far enough to the left. There's a lot of nuance to it in the way that the term is used now, but that's kind of the gist of it.
We call those not far enough to the left "social democrats". And they're proud of it generally, since the term implies they're part of the polite/non radical democracy. So they argue those farther to the left are anti-democratic.
Being called cute
So what do you call a guy who delivers a trophy to a convicted child rapist, like Harrison Ford did?
What? Who is said convicted child rapist you are talking about?
I think they are referring to Harvey Weinstein and the Oscars.
