51. They consider themselves to be the true Liberals....

They consider Hillary to be a Liberal.

They base this on the fact that everyone in the media calls her a Liberal.

She's HATED by Conservatives so she MUST BE a Liberal.

Further since we aren't in love with her that means WE hate her too which therefore means we aren't actual Liberals. We're probably Conservatives or Right Wing Libertarians. We CAN'T be true Democrats because you HAVE to love Bill and Hillary with all your heart or you aren't a true Democrat because they OWN the party.
