To be fair, this is mostly goalpost moving. Leftism is now mainstream liberalism.

I used to identify as a liberal but now mainstream liberalism (leftism) is against basic things like freedom of speech.

Feels weird to identify as a 'conservative' since I grew up associating very negative things with that term but there it is.

The political terms left, right, conservative, liberal, have a different and often opposite meaning in the US than most of the rest of the world.
