    The U.S. generally isn’t so nuanced. “Liberal” = Left, “Conservative” = Right. Sure, other terms exist (e.g., neoconservative), but for knuckle dragging Americans, anything with “liberal” or “conservative” as part of the label directly means right or left.

      Sure, but what’s considered ‘left’ in the US (e.g. the democrats) is super-ultra hyper right-wing in the rest of the world. Republicans are super-ultra turbo hyper mega extreme right wing.
