You cannot change the basis of a definition,
its very essence,
and still call it the same thing.
Especially just because you think so.

I do not agree with all of the tenants of liberalism
but I don't try to change the definition of the word to fit what I think.
That is utter nonsense.

I will agree that definitions change slowly over time.
But they do not switch to there opposites because one small group
of people think they should.

, the current vernacular has described liberal & conservative based on issues mostly local to the USA and often incomprehensible to foreigners.
You are free, like Humpty-Dumpty, to use words as you wish. You will simply find yourself having to explain yourself more frequently while the rest of the USA continues to speak in the short-hand of today's world.
