    I had the same, although opposite, realization. I’m used to Liberal meaning somewhat right-leaning; rights to private property, personal freedom, limited government, etc. Apparently in the US it’s basically a “bad leftist dumb-dumb”.

      Here it’s any leftist of any degree, so yeah, the conservatives use it as an insult, but otherwise it’s not.
