True in very many cases - most obviously the "liberal" media which has promoted unrestrained free market liberalism for decades. However, Trump is hugely exacerbating this by embracing and extending the same economic policy of making the rich richer, most blatantly in his enormous tax cuts for the rich. Trump and his "liberal" opponents are two sides of the same rightwing "Let's make the poor poorer" coin.

Largely true - there is an element of momentum behind the Bernie Sanders movement, including the likes of that Ocasio-Cortez one that has done well on these issues so far, but anyone claiming Hillary Clinton etc are 'far left' or 'liberal' has basically only managed to out themselves as an extremist, a troll, or an outright idiot.

I do love how an ideology that was so successful under Reagan and Thatcher though that it forced Labour/Democrats/etc to shift to the right and adopt much of it, is now labelled by the same people (many of whom would have been jumping up and down in celebration over said ideology back in the day as they waited for all that money to 'trickle on down' to them), as being 'liberal leftie blah blah blah etc' though. Because that's exactly what Thatcher and Reagan were! :pac:

A lot of the same idiots over in the US are waiting for the same 'trickle down' effect from right now. And when they don't get it... they'll look to blame someone else instead.
