You're making a vague, sweeping claim here without any evidence to back it up.

Also, I think you're misusing the term "liberalism" here. Liberalism is an ideology that supports freedom of expression and diverse viewpoints. The illiberal leftist ideologies that you seem to be referring to are not a part of liberalism (the issue is that liberalism and the political left tend to get conflated in American usage).

I actually think it's incredibly telling that a group that used to identify themselves as "liberal" have renamed themselves "progressive". Rather than freedom of expression and ideology, they now espouse a mandated direction "forward" and no longer value freedom.
