If you want. We could use a bit more magic in the world.
And the DPRK is democratic?
And every person who had ever said, "I'm not racist" definitely isn't racist?
He can call himself whatever he wants but wanting to take away workers rights, collective bargaining, consumer protection, public education, healthcare, etc clearly shows that he is definitely not a liberal.
Unrestrained capitalism is not liberal any more than squatting and claiming the squat is a sovereign state is not anarchy.

You're arguing against common and established definitions. That's fine, but please just be explicit about that, rather than going on a rant where you try to paint me as unreasonable.
What I'm saying is that they can call themselves whatever they want but calling themselves something and actually being something are COMPLETELY different. Just as the DPRK which is anything but democratic can call itself democratic but that doesn't make it democratic. Modern prosperity libertarians are neo-fascist extreme capitalists for the most part. They want all the freedom for themselves and enslavement for anyone who is not part of the uber class. The Koch brothers had decades to do good and did nothing but embrace their avarice and try to bring down the US government.
Okaaay... have fun arguing with the dictionary, friend.
Can you point to where the dictionary says that they are liberals? Or where the dictionary says that the DPRK is democratic?
I'll wait.
I can't express how incredibly uninterested I am in your weird little hobbyhorse.
It's understandable you don't want to be ideologically associated with monsters like the Kochs, but that's a you problem. Fucking deal with it.
Sorry you were triggered. I hope you recover quickly.
That's some Olympic level projection, right there.
