We used to make fun of people that claimed a group identity based on the actions of a minority.
I can find some -actual- Nazis that voted from Trump. If you voted for Trump how would you like to be called a Nazi? Ohhh wait, you didn’t. You made fun of it in fact.
I’m a liberal, and I see thread after thread after thread here claiming all kinds of crazy sht about me based on the rantings of some loon. We have two political parties, just because I don’t like what the Republicans are offering doesn’t mean I agree with everything that someone does or says just because they checked the same box out of two choices.

People that voted for Trump make fun of that claim because YOUR party is the party of projection and ends up being exactly what they attack the right for being, that's why they're laughing.
Why would you stick w/ a party that has shown it doesn't care an ounce about you and is taking advantage of you and everyone else in the open?
That's why the other side laughs at you and your claims.

They made fun of it because it was absurd. I personally think Trump is an awful person who did awful things to American and world politics.
That doesn’t make his voters Nazis. Now if you’re not just projecting you will treat me with the same respect. We can disagree, but we have to be able to discuss it.
No discussion is possible when “the other side” is just some faceless blob reduced to whatever its worst members are saying.

Ah right, because i'm not from the US i don't get to have an opinion on US politics? It's gotten so bad that you think the term 'liberal' belongs to the US... here's a clue, it doesn't. The word predates your country and US isn't the only place that uses the word liberal to describe their political landscape lol... (kind of blows my mind i had to explain this TBH)
I think the problem is you getting bent out of shape over a word.
The 'extreme left' or 'far left' or whatever you want to call them ARE liberals, they are a subset of all liberals. You are also a liberal. You are different subsets of the same set, but ultimately referring to either of you as a liberal is accurate.
Would calling them far left, or something different help? Perhaps, but when the misc talk about 'liberals' you know exactly what they mean and you're largely arguing semantics. But the left do the exact same thing and label all 'right wingers' or 'conservatives' together when in fact, just like liberals, conservatives is a huge set with many sub-sets. The fact you've framed this as a thing right wingers do to left wingers, rather than just something that happens in political discussion is laughable.
What would you prefer the unhinged-mentally ill left to be referred to as?

The difference is that Trump is not nor has he ever been a not-see. Your candidates in power are self avowed communists and socialists. In fact, your candidates that held power were actual KKK members, high ranking ones (Robert Byrd). Your presidential candidate Clinton embraced, hugged, kissed, and called the KKK member a 'great mentor'.
Your baseless not-see accusations were not based in truth. Commie, socialist, and KKK accusations of your candidates are based in truth.
Additionally, your current president claimed Trump called not-see members 'great people'. That was a blatant lie. Trump specifically called those people out. Your president used propaganda to smear his candidate (that's what fascists do). So we will add fascists to the list.
You are:
A Communist
A Socialist
A KKK supporter
A fascist
And all those things are treasonous. So we will add treason to your list.Sweet dreams, Bunny crew - https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=166681061&highlight=sweet+dreams+bunny

So, what are they?
Or will you just spout the same meaningless rhetoric the left and MSM has shown over and over again w/ little to no proof or fabricated lies?
Now if you’re not just projecting you will treat me with the same respect.
Telling you that you belong to a party that doesn't respect you, mocks you and lies to you in the open is disrespecting you? Okay.
We can disagree, but we have to be able to discuss it.
