As a technical term, when you're talking among educated people, you can use "liberal,"

Not ‘round these-here parts. People get really mad at “liberals”. Which I find ridiculous, but then I’m a libcuck Dem apologist genosider. Or so I've been told.

By russian-sponsored trolls you ask? Nnnnno?

Liberalism is a specific ideology, and it's the dominant one in the world today. People around here have very good and often well-articulated reasons for disliking liberalism.

disliking things like rules-based world order and voting?

What reasons would illiberal ideologies have to be against that? Nationalism? Opportunistic cronyism?

"Rules-based" world order in liberalism tends to end up with some countries breaking the rules and facing no consequences (see the unilateral veto power of the permanent members of the UN security council).

Liberalism also endorses things like private property, which allows an ownership class that extracts value from others without creating it.

I wouldn't call people Russian trolls for having a different definition of the word "liberal" than you. Most online leftists use the term "liberal" to refer to bourgeoisie that support, intentionally or unintentionally, mega-corporations and patriotic nationalism.

So they’re not Americans.

Which is fair enough, but maybe then they could not be all up in every thread about American elections? Because they don’t understand them very well?
