If you are not a conservative Republican, then you are a liberal Democrat. That is the simplistic way many Republicans have looked at things for years, decades even. I think it comes from a "if you are not for us, you're against us" attitude. So, if you are not a conservative Republican, you are a liberal Democrat (or a RINO), and a socialist in disguise. Nowadays, I think you can add "globalist", too...even though most people who use that word do not even know what it is.
