I’m a new Bulwark+ member. My wife & I are probably the only Democrats in Texas that don’t live in Austin. Just an observation: when I say “liberalism,” all of my neighbors hear *woke*. I realize it’s a simple terminology issue, but much of rural Texas is just that- simple. I wish there was better nomenclature for the same idea. Any suggestions?

If they are more intellectual I say “lower case l liberal” (Bill Maher uses this to distinguish between old school liberals and newer anti-liberal woke far left).
If they just associate that word you could try rationalist or humanitarian.
