Think about American politics not as two independent parties, but as two hands to a connected body. The Democrats would be the left hand, the Republicans the right. They both act in the interests of the body, and they help each other achieve goals that mutually benefit the ruling class. The “#Resistence” against ‘the right’ is theatre, nothing more.
Conservatives are Liberals, the rest of the world understands this already. The Republican Party would be considered a Far-Right party by the world’s standards, and the Democrats would be considered a right-wing Liberal party. Bernie, the person both parties called a “communist”, would be considered a Social-Democrat and still on the right, in accordance to the rest of the world.
Liberal means right wing, pro capitalist, pro wage slavery, pro landlordism, pro free market. The Australian right wing party for example, is the liberal party. Reagan and Thatcher are liberals.
In the US, a distinction is made for social liberals, who also hold all the same views as those above and are also right wing, but occasionally progressive on social issues, as long as it isn’t an affront to capitalist rule. IE more women prison guards and trans drone pilots.
I thought the conservatives want to move the overton window to the right and the liberals want to keep it where it is
not at all.

Here’s a better and concise definition tho than that I did above.
