Does someone want to explain the actual definition of a "liberal"?

It's someone with political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed, and equality before the law; someone who is open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.

Someone who believes in liberalism, the liberty and rights of the individual, and that the government's role is to ensure those rights for the individual.

Most of the people called liberal today are actually anti-liberal, but welcome to clown world.

The Liberal Democrat’s exist to build & safeguard a fair, free & open society, in which they seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality & community & in which no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity

A liberal is someone open to new things. Small c conservatives are traditionalists, they hate deviations from their expectations or preset ideas.

I believe the original definition of "liberal" is generous. When someone gives liberally, they give generously. When you apply something (lotion or ointment) liberally, you are applying it generously, in large amounts.

I know that "liberal" has come to mean different things, especially since the 1960's, but I believe that is the original definition.

It has changed significantly to the point it is mostly a pejorative.

A society will end up having individuals and groups that aren’t the norm or good at what the collective society has established as its value system. Those disenfranchised groups will, therefore, be vulnerable to discrimination and lack of access opportunities and services. Enter liberals to compel society to see that these individuals/groups deserve the same rights and respect as any citizen.

Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values

I've heard it explained this way:

The conservative is akin to a sailing ship. The liberal is the wind that fills its sails. And the moderate controls the rudder.⛵️

someone who lets you tie them up and leave them in an elevator

Liberal - open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.

I am not touching this at all
