No, I haven’t had a change of heart. I’m just taking back the word “liberal.” The Left can’t have it anymore. They have hijacked the word. They aren’t liberal, and we all need to realize that and stop calling the very illiberal left “liberal.” You can call them leftist. You can call them progressives, fascists, or Marxists. You can call them late for dinner, but please stop calling them liberal.
I am liberal. America’s “conservatives” are the only ones fighting to preserve America’s liberal tradition today. We are fighting to conserve your God-given rights, no matter what your views may be. We are fighting for your constitutional rights,

Y’all missed Angela Kelley’s point. Liberal, in the political sense, means favoring maximum individual liberties. Her point is that the Democrats do not favor individual liberties, Republicans do; therefore, we should take the word liberal away from them. One does not need to look far to see examples. The cancel culture of the radicals is a great example of their belief in stifling opinions that are not in agreement. This is exactly how Hitler came to power, he had his brown shirts control speech. And the left says Republicans are the fascists!

Liberalism is a hate crime.
Liberalism is fascism.
Liberals do not own the language.

I agree with OP. I have long called them Leftists, sometimes Dem/Lefties. Essentially, they are the ones who want to overthrow our Republic. So they are anarcho-terrorists, too. They've got in Biden and empty vessel, a man who has fabricated himself out of a tissue of lies, year after year. He doesn't even know who he is, except when his minders tell him what to say and what to think and where to go. And whenever he hears those little birdies start tweeting, he comes back to his reality.
Never Trumpers are in a special class all themselves. Thoroughly predictable, they are boorish twaddlers, they say exactly what you know they'll say: and that's stupid, hateful, and shallow, filled with that mindless rage. They really don't care about our Constitutional Republic. In this way they are just like the purposeful Dem/Lefties who mean to tear it all down.
The Dem/Lefties have incorporated some nihilistic philosophies which have enabled them to speak in verbiage filled with internal contradictions. So that they say they are liberals or even progressives (which is really regressive) while they employ fascistic tactics. I usually sum this up by saying that they are faithful followers of Marxian dictum: The end justifies the means.
I saw a couple of Democrats on Fox today, Mark Penn and one of BO's economic advisers who were clearly perturbed by what they are witnessing... beyond the wilding mobs, but Biden, an obvious puppet. There are Democrats who are afraid, because they DO love this country. They are being subsumed by the radicals. It's hard to swim against a tsunami of terrorism, from the physical destruction in the streets to the tyrannies of choking Woke and crushing Cancel. Too late, perhaps, they are understanding that their children and grandchildren and all posterity will end up living in a horrifying place.
We began losing our free speech rights during the Clinton era with Donna Shalala (if my memory is right about her), I'm sure Hillary was involved in all of it. This was when the concept of "hate speech" took root, and took root in the Democrat Party.

Yeah, I have occasionally ranted here (and other places) about the misuse of the word "liberal", applying it to leftists.
I don't much like "progressive" either, because the only "progressive" thing thing that they like is a progressive income tax whereby they confiscate larger and larger percentages of income from people who earn more and more.

Well, having recently heard the definition of a "Jacksonian Democrat," I think I might be one of them.
Jacksonian Democrat--Three Rules:
1. You leave me alone, I'll leave you alone.
2. You deal fairly with me, I'll deal fairly with you.
3. You screw with me and I'll kill you.

I’ve been calling them leftists for almost 2 decades. I started during the 2000 election when they were counting hanging chads.

I've been saying this for years. So-called "liberals" are not liberal at all, they don't respect people who disagree with them. I call them leftists.

Today's Leftists are Big Government disciples. As were Mussolini and Hitler. Mussolini had his Black Shirts - thugs that physically attacked conservatives opposed to Mussolini's Fascist Big Government policies and programs. Hitler had his Brown Shirts on the streets. The whole idea of Fascism is to rule by intimidation and forcibly suppress any expressions of opposition.
I was very gratified to see that President Trump finally referred to today's Leftists as Fascists - it was long overdue. The folks burning, looting, defacing, and destroying are hand in glove with Nancy Pelosi and the Deep State. There is nothing Liberal about them. Nor are they Democratic. And certainly not Progressive.
