Liberals are desperate to keep things the way they are, so they have no patience for leftists or conservatives, and actively shun both, then blame leftists when they lose.
Tankies aren’t leftists and conservatives are not the opposite of liberals. Conservatives oppose progressives, liberals include conservatives and progressives. The DNC and GOP both have a lot of conservatives in their ranks. The GOP has fascism and bigots and the DNC has social democrats and (probably some stealthed) democratic socialists.
Not everyone, they could be tankies too.
