Funny thing is that due to name corruption over the centuries, "Liberals" are not in any shape or form based on "Liberalism." They are, more properly aligned with the ancient Utopian thinkers than with the Age of Enlightenment thinkers. The later tend to have their followers proclaim themselves as "Libertarian." The modern snowflake liberal would be a Tory at the time of the American Revolution and fighting to preserve the authority of good old King George (who was, for those of you who forget, that German who was "King" of England).
This isn't to say that the average Age of Enlightenment thinker didn't have problems of their own, mostly coming from such events as the English Reformation which created a very bad church / state inter-dependency as well as the perceived association of the French Church with the French Monarch. But going into that goes into the land of tl;dr. Instead let's just say that classical liberalism is modern libertarianism, which is sometimes confused with conservatism.

Back in December 2016 after Trump won the election, Bernie Sanders held a Town Hall meeting in Trump country in Wisconsin. The ignorance of Trump supporters is outright mind blowing!
Bernie has no problem holding Town Hall meetings anywhere in the U.S. where Trump won by landslides.
Karel, here's a real snowflake the Bernie had to melt...

That's the only saving grace; they haven't destroyed your language yet. The United States is still living in a quasi 1984 state. It's double plus good!
Socialists in the turn of the 20th century coopted the term "progressive" because it sounded like they were for "progress."
Once that failed like a ton of bricks (with the President going back on his campaign promises to get the US involved in the Great War and almost into the League of Nations) the term was changed to "liberal."
So for most of the 20th century in the US, the term "liberal" meant "socialist." But the deception doesn't end there, originally the Democrat's color was "red" but since they wanted to hide their socialist roots and not be labeled with the "Communists" they had the mainstream media change the party's color (for purposes of identifying which state leaned toward which party) to that of blue. So not only do words no longer mean what they say, even colors no longer mean what they mean.
