| − | An example of how relativism is deceptive is the manner leftists exploit it to promote the [[U.S. "Party-switch" myth]] by claiming that the early [[Republican Party]] was "liberal" in the sense that they were supposedly "liberal ''in the context of their time''". In using the term "liberal" in an extremely broad sense while also giving the impression that it refers to modern liberalism, it ignores the fact that the actual policies of the early Republican Party were [[conservative]] and parallels the present-day party. | + | An example of how relativism is deceptive is the manner leftists exploit it to promote the [[U.S. "Party-switch" myth]] by claiming that the early [[Republican Party]] was "liberal" in the sense that they were supposedly "liberal ''in the context of their time''".
