It's a testament to how far the right has shifted that they think General Milley is a liberal.

Actually, scratch that. They don't put people on a spectrum, they're 100 percent "for us or against us." There are trump supporters and everyone else, and the everyone else are by definition liberal scum.

He is literally a liberal.

The Republican party has lost the plot so hard it's time to join the rest of the world and actually know what the word means, which isn't "Democrat."

He is literally a liberal.

How do you figure? A Roman Catholic to the point he was a member of Knights of Columbus. Appointed chairman of the joint chiefs of staff by Trump, who pretty much only appointed hard right cabinet members. What criteria are you using to define him a liberal?

Damn, I considered joining Knights of Columbus because it’s a social organization that does some good fundraising and service projects. I didn’t know I’d have to change my politics

I just mean it's a very Roman Catholic organization. Of course you can be liberal and Roman Catholic at the same time, but generally they're a pretty conservative bunch.
