    Hey, I didn’t pick that fight. A bunch of super geniuses started shouting liberals suck in every thread and my position is they’re doing it wrong.

    Count on the Internet to bring out the pedantic comments. “Liberal” is the word used to describe pretty much anything on the “Left” in the USA.

    See all those downvotes from people who “disagree” with your well obvious fact? That’s bullshit. If people can learn new and interesting things from other countries, why can’t this be one of those things?

    The answer I’ve gotten is ‘shut up, Americans should change the words they use’. As someone who’s said that often enough myself, I can reliably inform them that is not going to happen.

    So they can either learn it or not, but it is the case. This meme being one small example.

      Agreed. People are trying so hard to be correct that they don’t want to be on the same side, they’d rather pick a flight.

        If the same side is “liberals suck”, yeah that’s gonna be a fight. Why would people deliberately piss off the majority of progressive voters in the US? Unless they wanted fascism to win. Again.
