“There was a time when the term liberal had been so thoroughly demonize...” — Bret Weinstein Quote

There was a time when the term liberal had been so thoroughly demonized by those on the right that I remember consciously choosing to call myself a progressive in order to evade the stigma. But there was no change in my perspective that accompanied it.
