All spot on except, and you might find this trivial but it is not. The Left is not liberal. The Left pays for their programs by taking money from others, thus decreasing the liberty of the taxed. The Left then addicts others to government programs, which define and dictate how they live, thus depriving them of liberty. Leftism is centralized government control by a self-appointed elite. Language is important. Twisting our language is how the Left has manipulated the masses further curtailing liberty.
