Liberal or Lib’rall
As words and phrases evolve over time, like “gender” becoming confused with “sex”, or describing dirty water as “potable” [i]Water is called potable because it is safe to drink and suitable for human consumption. The word “potable” comes from the Latin word potare, which means “to drink”., or people saying, “I could care less” when they really mean, “I couldn’t care less“, it’s confusing for some of us.
There must have been a time when folks with left-leaning or socialist beliefs were considered “liberal” in thought – or maybe they just considered themselves that way. But in recent decades, it has become abundantly clear that the current political Left exhibits nothing even remotely liberal in thought – the very opposite is the case. Not wishing to cause more confusion, I hereby introduced the word “Lib’rall“, a proper noun with the associated adjective of the same spelling, to mean the exact opposite of “Liberal“, or “liberal”.
When children don’t get what they want, they resort to tantrums and demand cookies, toys, etc. This works better in public because onlookers often join their side. They simply want what they want when they want it, and are totally unable or unwilling to accept anything less. When adults don’t get what they want, we see them react differently.
Lib’rall
In competition, when they don’t get what they want, they declare their opponent wrong, dishonest, evil, or worse. They get angry, they get revenge, they storm out of the meeting. They make up goofy songs, dance in the street, break windows, and burn other people’s property.
Some swear to leave the Country, or quit their jobs to live in the street, but they rarely do either.
Liberal
Others are able to reflect inward about their losses, accepting them in an adult fashion. They usually don’t agree with their competitor’s point of view, but they are able to understand it and accept it.
They express their disappointment by reflecting inward and trying harder the next time. There is no equivalent to a No Kings rally in this frame of mind.
