They protect their socioeconomic class at the expense of the working class. They are the servants of the billionaires. The republicans are no better, that goes without saying.

You are extremely twisted up.
Liberalism is not right wing, and what you’re talking about is neoliberalism. Which is different.

Overton window around here is so far right you think you’re the one correcting him… Fuck damn.
Compared to monarchy/fascism, liberalism is farther towards the center but it does not often cross that line.

Hahaha imagine being this arrogant and immediately shooting yourself in the foot.
No Liberalism is left leaning. It is a center ideology 100% but liberalism is left leaning. The concept of liberalism literally became in existence opposite of a monarchy right wing style, placing it to the left.
Now since then the term liberalism has been abused especially in the US but you live in a world that was ruled by kings and still is in many ways. But you think globally that means liberals are right leaning?? Outside of your mind.

In our day and age liberalism is center right. It was left wing back in Napoleonic times. But its post-cold war now. Capitalism and thoroughly replaced feudalism.

No. You’re completely wrong. Liberalism is a right wing ideology. Neoliberalism is even further right. The entire US political spectrum save for a tiny handful of elected officials (Bernie and the squad, most of whom are centrists at best) are right wing to fascist.

Nope. You completely don’t understand classic liberalism and modern liberalism or neoliberalism

Liberalism enshrines capitalism so it’s right of center.

Uh huh and what about the rest of liberalism

You’re talking about the social politics of liberalism? Typically people will use more of a compass to better describe the intersection between social and fiscal policies. Fiscal is the left to right, Liberty is the bottom to top, and some even add a Z axis for progressive vs regressive.
While there are different flavors, American liberalism is considered right of center on fiscal policy but less authoritarian on more personal freedoms than conservative views. Ie: both support big business, but liberals are more okay if you’re LGBT+.
Excerpt from Wikipedia about classical liberalism: “In the context of American politics, “classical liberalism” may be described as “fiscally conservative” and “socially liberal”.[55] Despite this, classical liberals tend to reject the right’s higher tolerance for economic protectionism and the left’s inclination for collective group rights due to classical liberalism’s central principle of individualism.[56] Additionally, in the United States, classical liberalism is considered closely tied to, or synonymous with, American libertarianism.”
