    I mean asking an average American to define any established political term is like asking a child where Christmas presents come from.

    They do not get properly educated about it, average Joe America gets what little political understanding they have from propaganda merchants motivated to keep them angry.

      Moreso because an American Liberal is more of libertarian capitalist than a true liberal. They want a free market before they want a free people. American Liberals are right wing while the media contantly calls them “the left” of the country.

      Americans aren’t merely uneducated. They’re misinformed and gaslit.
