I genuinely would like to understand what you guys at hexbear are about but every time I poke my head into that instance you guys are "dunking" every other instance with language nobody else understands. It's very alienating.

We're literally just communists. Read any introductory text to communism and 99% of what we say will make sense in context.

"Donald Trump is a liberal"

Break this down.

Is there anything confusing about that statement?

Yes, otherwise they would not have asked it. We all learn something new everyday, and what's old for you is novel for others. We cannot expect everyone to be well-versed in theory that was once new to us as well

Uh, I think I was right to be suspicious of their good faith.

Maybe, maybe not. But that statement is going to be deeply confusing to the average American for whom "liberal" is synonymous with "left".
