passive liberalism

when white people partake in performative liberalism and use it as an excuse to be subconsciously racist towards their non white peer/friend. usually from the midwest but doesn't have to be. also, usually among the white alternative crowd, predominantly. they make being "liberal" an aesthetic on social media platforms, when in reality, they just need to learn to recognize their implicit bias when their poc friends try and correct them.

they also compare themselves to trump supporters to justify their implicit racism.
they generally fall in the white alternative crowd. they enjoy anime, kpop, weed, indie music, skateboarding, frank ocean, as much as the next alternative person. but they are not as educated or self aware as they could be. a majority of them do hail from breadbasket states. the main reason for this is that midwestern states are by majority, white. so when passive liberalists branch out (for college or other reasons), they have already developed a subconsciously racial superiority complex. surprisingly, a trump supporting white girl from soCal may be less subconsciously racist than a white person from Ohio or Minnesota.

* this is not about all white people, just the ones who choose not to educate themselves.
example 1:

Sally: I put blm in my bio and listen to Green Day on repeat, of course im not racist.

Lucy: yeah but when Chenelle dated Ryan after you did, you became super passive aggressive towards her. You even ended things with him and acted so weird towards Chenelle.. Yet when Kenzie dated him, you didn't care.

Sally: what are you implying?

Lucy: You subconsciously view yourself as superior to Chenelle, our Hispanic friend, than you did Kenzie, another white person. You just perform passive liberalism for the aesthetic.

Sally: You're crazy Lucy. I buy from the activist section at Urban Outfitters, I posted a black square on Instagram,..., I even went against my parents and voted for Biden ...it was such a struggle. I'm too alternative to be racist. I listen to Kpop, Lucy! Would a subconsciously racist person listen to Kpop? Also, there's never been a trump supporter who has as quaint a Stardew valley farm as I do. Because trump supporters would never play such an uwu aesthetic game.

example 2:

Ryan: are you seriously breaking up with me?

Chenelle: you never tell your friends to quit the Latina jokes.

Ryan: but im your uwu white boy of the month. :(

Chenelle: poc people on twitter invented the "white boy" of the month jokes. we've gone over this. when you say it or let it fuel your ego, it's not cute. you didn't act this way Kenna left you a few months ago. recognize your superiority complex.

Liberation Day

An event on the 2nd April 2025 where the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, announced he would impose "reciprocal tariffs" on most countries on Earth, including a island only inhabited by penguins, to "bring back manufacturing back to America". Shortly after this announcement global stock markets crashed the worst since 2020. A few days later Trump suspended the tariffs for 90 days, even thought they were meant to be permanent.
Penguin 1: "Hey man Donald Trump just put a 10% tariff on us on Liberation Day"
Penguin 2: "I can't believe this, we should protest"

Right Leaning Liberal

Somebody who dislikes woke ideology, political correctness, and votes Republican but doesn't have any actual conservative values or principles. They usually rail against feminism, LGBT culture, or racial grievance ideology but combine this with a dislike or even hatred of Christianity and Christian morals. At best they are Christian in name only. Some of them only vote Republican for the low taxes. They particularly despise any semblance of sexual morality and are often worse sexual degenerates then even the people on the left are. Either that or they have a completely hypocritical set of morals that glorifies promiscuity when men do it and only selectively looks down on it when women are doing it whereas actual conservatives look down on both men and women who are promiscuous. They usually talk about how great the 1970s or 80s were rather then the 1950s like conservatives do. They usually have false beliefs about what makes you conservative to begin with and try to sell old fashioned liberalism as conservatism. Groups of right leaning liberals would include...

- Frat Boys and Sorority Girls
- White Trash
- Pick up artists
- Some people on 4chan
- Most libertarians
- Anybody who declares themselves to be "fiscally conservative but socially liberal."
- A lot of self described "anti SJWs."
The Republican Party has been flooded with right leaning liberals, we have to be careful to make sure we do not lose our conservative values because of them.

Liberal

The only word that Trump supporters use to try and offend anyone whenever a person disagrees with them..Seems like they’re using it as a slur
