A liberal can generally be identified by realizing that they base decisions on emotions rather than logic. Having good intentions is more important to liberals than obtaining the desired results. Demonstrating how virtuous you are is very important to liberals. Never admitting when you are wrong. Defining your political foes as evil monsters, so you can dismiss them with no need to argue about specific policy. And hypocrisy. Lots of hypocrisy. Liberals in a nutshell.

Actual & real liberalism as it relates to American political ideologies is simply and rightly determined by simply reading America's Constitution except for the 16th amendment. The 16th is a contradiction to everything traditionally and classically "liberal" True constitutional liberalism is individual liberty and limited government. America's government today at every level of government has little to no relationship with classical liberalism. It's way, way more akin to authoritarianism, restricted and even denied individual liberties and unlimited government. That all started with America's Roosevelt family of politicians, Teddy and FDR. Teddy's original American progressive-ism and FDR's New Deal And the federal government's incorporation of authoritarian socialism & social engineering. Thus, the follow through along that path ever since by both major political parties adopted that BIG government lust for more, more, & more power over the masses set that unconstitutional precedent.
Long story made short, there’s no such thing as an American traditional & classical “liberal” in today’s world. The status quo has stamped true liberalism out leaving just a shit stain of individual liberty and a limited government. Thus today’s liberals are simply authoritarian, socialist, social engineers & neo-communist & neo-fascist. “Progressivism” is simply an abbreviation for “BIG AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT.” And a liberal today is just a brainwashed victim of himself/herself that advocates for unlimited government and the unlimited corruption that naturally goes with it.
"Government is force by definition and corruption by nature. The bigger the government, the greater the force and the greater the corruption."
Black.
That might trigger you, but the overwhelming majority of black people identify with the Democrat Party. Movements are attempting to change this, but as of right now, the overwhelming majority of blacks are liberals.
Now, moving beyond that trigger word, there are multiple other ways of "diagnosing" a liberal. One way is by looking at their vehicles. If the vehicle is a completely bumper-stickered up Prius, it's gonna be a liberal... In fact, a completely bumper-stickered up anything is usually a liberal (as they seem to love loading their cars with bumper stickers all over the place as opposed to conservatives, who might have one or two stickers on their vehicle, if any at all). Another way is by looking at the person themself. If you see an attractive woman with longer (more feminine) hair (especially if she's a tomboy type of girl), that'll likely be a conservative you're looking at. If you see a "woman"?? (I think??) with very short "butch" hair, that's gonna be a liberal. There are other body queues like that, such as symmetry of the face and like-wise, and I can usually tell upon first glace of a person whether they identify more-so with the left or the right politically... Also, people who are louder (very vocal) and love attention tend to be liberals.
Maybe leftists need that MAGA hat to identify "yup, that's my enemy", but righties can simply put two and two together in various ways and figure it out pretty quickly...
Yup, pretty much... I'd definitely be a supporter of classic liberalism (true liberalism). They supported liberty... Today's "liberals" (Marxist leftists) are anything BUT liberty supporters... They want Big Brother government to control everything and want AI devices like Alexa to do their thinking (and spying) for them...
