It’ll probably taper off in the next weeks or so.
Edit - Probably what’s most misunderstood is when the term liberal is applied. Not at all times they mean the Democratic Party and its supporters.
You don’t need to be a Big L - Liberal to uphold liberalism. Republicans can uphold liberalism. Tory supporters can uphold liberalism.
It’s an ideology tied to extreme individualism, reformism, those who can believe society will progress through individual action, devoid of any stances combating activism.
For ex: individuals who want women to be in the same position of power as men w/o questioning the oppressive nature of these positions of power that oppress women from the working class. Under liberalism: Thatcher, Melania Trump, Giorgia Meloni are Girlbosses. Does this ring true to anyone?
Liberalism as an ideology propagates the idea that if given “equal opportunities” in life, then it is up to people to grab those opportunities to have a better life.
But we understand that hard work is not enough because if so, then hired hands and workers should be rich by now, but they are not.
Because exploitation exists, oppressive systems in our society exist. That’s one of the many limits of liberalism as an ideology. it has no class analysis.
Liberalism depends on reformism to advance a society, but reformism is not enough. You see news about social democracies backsliding into fascist politicians. But these social democracies also rely on poorer countries for their raw resources for their welfare states to run(like gold and tantalum and Libya bombing thing). Until how long can we reform a broken government?
