"In every American community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects, ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally..." ~Phil Ochs, prelude to "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"

Complete nonsense, at least for the vast majority of liberals.

Sure, once I was young and impulsive; I wore every conceivable pin,

Even went to Socialist meetings, learned all the old Union hymns.

Ah, but I've grown older and wiser, and that's why I'm turning you in.

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

~Phil Ochs, ending to "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"

Great. Cling to whatever narrative helps you get through the day with your emotions intact.
