classic liberal

A modern conservative using an outdated term from the 19th century to identify themselves. Essentially, a classic liberal believes in an unregulated free market, like a conservative, but doesn't care about social freedoms and benefits, because those beliefs don't benefit corporations (so shut up minorities and people of atypical sexes and gender identifications; and fuck you, welfare programs). So yeah, they're just your average conservative. The point of using this name for themselves is to make their politics more appealing to the masses, as they assume most people won't know or have the inclination to look up what a classic liberal is.

Guy 1: "I'm not a conservative anymore. I'm a classic liberal now!"

Guy 2: "So you're a conservative with a Trojan horse name?"

Guy 1: "NO! FUCK YOU! THAT'S FAKE NEWS!!!! STOP STIFLING MY FREE SPEECH!!!! REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
(Guy 1 then proceeds to fling his own feces at everyone around him to distract from being exposed)
