Well, if you support gun rights, that's being liberal. If you support more people being able to vote, that's being liberal. If you are trying to restrict voting rights, that being conservative. If you are trying to restrict people's access to firearms, that's being conservative, too.

I for one have no idea what it means to be Republican or Democratic because they don't bother to say exactly what "Republican values" are or "Democratic values" are. They used to talk about things like tariffs but when did you last hear that mentioned?
