I was looking at a review of a book this morning about American history on Amazon and chuckled when I saw a sole reviewer complain about "liberal bias." I've often bristled at the term, since what cons call "liberal bias" is, for the most part, normality. So what's the alternative, then, and how should we refer to it?
What I came up with (and you're welcome to add your own suggestion) is "warped conservatives" or "conservative warp," whichever your choose. That, I think, describes in a most accurate term what conservatives are throwing (up) out these days. As much as they're trying to make it so (apologies, Picard), nothing the Republican Party is putting out now is anywhere near normal. And it needs to be slapped out of the mainstream. NOW. Before the damage it's already inflicted gets much worse.
I look forward to seeing your responses.

(21,385 posts)we need to run a moderate candidate instead of a liberal. Then when we break down what a liberal stands for his/her positions end up being mainstream.
We have a big contest in Pa. for US Senate, Conor Lamb, the moderate, backed by the DNC v John Fetterman the liberal.
Fetterman and Lamb met with Biden at the collapsed bridge last week, Fetterman wore shorts and a hoodie in the freezing cold.
Lamb is a fine candidate but I am voting for Fetterman in the primary. He is just well liked and has enthusiasm and speaks his mind.
