      From a political science perspective (and for most people outside the USA), most of the US has liberalist ideology, including Republican voters. The electoral system is called a liberal democracy. The country rallying cry is for “freedom”; liberty.

      US mass media simply started calling progressive liberalism “liberalism”, conservative liberalism “conservativism”, and classical liberalism “libertarianism”. It’s silly and confusing, but it’s the world we’re in right now.

      I’m sorry, I realize I was a bit ambiguous so please allow me to correct myself.

      CNN is so fucking liberal. Better?
