2. Bra-fucking-vo!

The label 'liberal' is used like a club in my world. Like it's dirty, and something to be ashamed of.

The only reason those racist lying motherfuckers can accuse the POTUS of everything from purposely bringing ebola to this country to being a terrorist in league with ISIS is because liberals fought for their right to free speech.

And still fight for it, no matter how despicably they use it.

However, if you do make up your own label, do it on your own terms. Don't use my label to define your label; because, when you do that, whether you intend to or not, you are applying your own biases to the label and redefining me in the process.

Exactly.
