(12,821 posts)What Bill describes happened years ago. That's why we have that label "progressive". It was a way to say you are liberal without using the L word. GOPers have been using the word "liberal" like an insult even in JFK's time. Look up what he told the GOP about being a liberal.
But yeah, running away from the word liberal has been the Democrats go to response when the L word is thrown around.
But the weird thing here in rural GOP world in my part of TN, you can't tell who is a GOPer or a Democrat from signs and roadside advertising all over the place. Actually almost all the signs look like Democratic signs. A lot of blue and white no elephant logo, very little red. It's like the GOPers are pretending to be Dems. It has been this way ever since Obama won his first election.
The GOPers aren't really all that proud of their Russian party.
