This discussion is funny from a German pov, as our main local liberal party (the FDP) is pretty right wing and has been so since the 1940s. “Liberalism” always had a quite neative connotation to me therefore. They are also the party most open to working together with the far right (the AFD).
Isn’t it the same in the US though? They still don’t have universal healthcare or basic worker protection like protecting women from being fired over giving birth.
see, the difference is, in the US they already won, tho in the American context liberal s still more progressive than the neo-cons/fascists on the other side

Liberalism can be right wing or left wing. It makes more sense to structure the political specrum like this. But even that is far from prefect.
that’s because liberalism in Europe is mainly “liberty” for rich people to do what they want

Are they? I would say the CDU under Merz is more likely to work with the AfD
