> old school liberals -like the Clintons-

Is this a joke? Or are actual "old school liberals" so "old school" now that liberals by the ten-year-old definition count as "old school"?

"Old school liberals" are people like Friedman and Mises, not the Clintons.

It should have read “including”. One can’t rely on previous icons as examples as they are being passed at best as irrelevant and at worst as being echoes of a feudal past.

In any case, it’s a very surprising quick turn of events. Even Orwell the prototypical anti-fascist is ensnared. Perhaps denouncement awaits.
