Anyone who uses liberal as an insult is incredibly cringe in my book.
There's nothing cringier than right-wingers who pretend they aren't right-wingers... ie, liberals. For people who can be called leftist with a straight face, "liberal" is quite the insult.
Wanna see what MLK had to say about liberals?
You lump us with fascists. "Scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds" has to be one of the most ridiculous things ever said. We're not your enemies! Democratic socialists are in the Democrat party in America. Social Liberals and Social Democrats have much more in common than Social Liberals and Conservatives. In Europe Liberals and moderate socialists form parliamentary coalitions
It's not ridiculous, it's simply historically true. Go ask any European and they'll explain to you how Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco got to power.
They'll also tell you how in all their respective countries, the liberals are currently normalizing the far right in their media to counter the rise of leftist movements.
Edit: oh and also, every liberal government is currently supporting the Palestinian genocide, so that should be a pretty big clue too.
