liberterian is not liberal

@Mountainlady16: No. It's not liberal in the common definition. Libertarians want less government involvement. So they may be "liberal" about things like legalized weed, because they don't want the government telling them what to do, but they're not liberal in terms of things like social programs to help people. They're a bit more of "every man for himself."

And that's why I said [b]generally[/b] considered liberal.
Though, I didn't make that distinction on the other side. Republicans are pretty much always conservatives now.

@UnsureForNow: I'm told there are still some moderates in the GOP. But one rarely hears from them nowadays.😊

I don't doubt that, but they would definitely be more right leaning, at the very least.

In the U.S., liberalism has stood for social progress, equality and inclusion. Conservativism has supported traditionalists, nationalism, exclusion and preserving the "status quo".
There used to be both liberal and conservative factions in both parties. Republican [b]liberals[/b] were abolitionists and those who supported Reconstruction and later, the Civil Rights movement. Southern Democratic conservatives ("Dixiecrats") established the KKK and Jim Crow legislation (enforced racial segregation).There are still liberal, moderate and conservative Democrats, but the 21st century GOP has run off most of its more liberal components.

For a little while, I thought I understood it. It obviously has different colours/factions/sects. Thank you though.
