"I stated that the meaning of "liberal" has altered, as has the meaning of many other words and terms."

Ohhhhhhhh...I get it...I was having trouble wrapping my head around what you were getting at.

"I didn't steal that chicken, it followed me home!"

There's a complicated dynamic that IMO can be boiled down.
Technology makes the world small, not big. 140 characters limit/texting. (John Oliver talked about language this week) There are the abbreviations we know that we were taught in school.(I'm old) So due to 140 character limits , people organically start to develope their own 'foreign' language. On paper, 'BAE' = "before anyone else". Verbally, it's also a body of water. LOL, LMAO etc. Now it's emoji w/o words. Today? They don't teach cursive writing and Boomers are going the way of the Dodo. Tech revolution ultra concentrated highly educated people. Blue collars are vanishing. Imagine lifestyles, a farmer vs. software engineer. That's a wide gap. There's more, but you get the idea
