  This post is not making sense to me. 
  
  Most conservatives probably think of the denotative definition being reserved
  
  Come again?
context: “Infighting”…discussion of ideas, representation of varied interests, providing the best outcomes for citizens, regions and industries.
  Vs blindly worshiping one guy whose bigoted rantings can only be opposed at risk of excommunication.
  I’ll take the infighting.
  Fucking media. >
  
  Fox News says something stupid: fuck Fox News. 
  NPR says something stupid: fuck the media. 
  NPR is subject to bias just like any news outlet. It’s disappointing when they fall prey to right wing tropes like this. >
  
  NPR is a neoliberal mouthpiece and any veneer it has of being “left” is purely marketing. >
  
  I keep seeing people misuse this word, neoliberal doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.
  It’s an economic/ international development term coined ~70 years ago. From the wiki:
  
  Neoliberalism is a term used to signify the late 20th century political reappearance of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism after it fell into decline following the Second World War.[2]: 7 [3] A prominent factor in the rise of conservative and libertarian organizations, political parties, and think tanks, and predominantly advocated by them,[4][5] it is generally associated with policies of economic liberalization, including privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society.

  Neo-conservative is my go to for those using the guise of progressive policy to enforce conservative structures. I'm not sure if that's still the appropriate term here. >
  
  Right, and socio/politically we don’t need made up gradations of “good” liberals and “bad” liberals, the Democratic Party is inherently a coalition. We agree on ~99%, that’s what matters
  TL;DR - ‘neoliberal’ is economics, not politics. Beware anyone confidently calling democrat ‘X’ a neoliberal, they’re either a narc or a fool >
  
  I think one of the real issues we have is just this kind of thing. Most conservatives probably think of the denotative definition being reserved, not understanding that it's political meaning is more along the lines of "autocratic" or "fiefdom".
