    Its the way the wealthy wamt the poor and middle class - undereducated and bombarded by agenda driven media.

      Going to have start signalling when talking about the two different concepts, like…

      Today I’d like to discuss liberalism.

      vs

      Today I’d like to discuss 🛻🇺🇸LIBeralism™🎸🦅
