Based on these polls, many do not know what Liberalism is, and have been duped into believing it is something that it isn't by those who call themselves Liberals.

Inarguably Democrats are not Liberals and Liberalism by definition is good.

2) The Natural Rights philosopher John Locke, whose philosophy served as the architecture of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution is known as the father of Liberalism.

Liberal, deriving from the word Liberty, aims to secure our Individually held Natural Rights.

3) Natural Rights include your inherent entitlements to Life, Liberty, and Property, which are considered Negative Rights demanding inaction from others to not harm these Rights.

This is further explained in the Negative vs Positive Liberty Section.

4) The Democrats who consider themselves NeoLiberals or Social Liberals, premise their political ideals on Positive Rights, which violate your Natural Rights. Positive Rights & Negative Rights cannot coexist.

5) Positive Rights are authoritarian, as they violate authority of individuals to determine their own fate, depriving them of their Liberty, which renders the Democrats political philosophy illegitimate.

6) Why does any of this matter?

If I were to post a video explaining how cancel culture is premised on Critical theory, a theory that criticizes Liberalism, then context would be lost on all who doesn't know what true Liberalism is, and many would not grasp Cultural Marxism.

7) Freedom is achieved through education, which starts with basics.

Understanding the traditions of our Nation (Conservatism), begins with knowing what Liberty is, which requires knowing what Liberalism is, as the true Liberals are Conservatives.
