Your Definition
Someone who prioritizes the liberty of the citizen over the wants of the government (control, mostly). This definition is getting outdated, and if you identify as a liberal nowadays you'll get scorned by conservatives who use it as a buzzword for anyone left-leaning. The reality is that this French Revolution-era term can be mixed with any position on the left-right spectrum, and is on an independent axis, the opposite being authoritarianism.
