We have the same cycle here in Australia with our centre-right Labor and fascist-nazi Liberal parties.
You read that right - in Australia the conservative party is called "Liberal". 1984 level lying...
Because it refers to economic liberalism.
Here in Brazil bolsonaro's party is also called "Liberal Party". Weirdly he was elected when in the Social Liberal Party.
Names don't mean anything in political discourse.
you even find that in Hitler's "national socialist" party
I mean... Everything is upside down there anyway, right?
That's actually pretty common. In most countries liberal = less taxes, which is considered at least centre right.
