I just tried searching for “liberals” on twitter and tagging usage. Rough proportions I found:
“Liberal” =
Generic godless non-conservative: 35%
SJW/identitarian: 25%
Progressive/socialist welfare statist: 20%
Big-banks-globalist neoliberal: 15%
Classical liberal/Whig: 5%

This is a long read but it changed my entire outlook on what the US party system and its labels actually, materially function as. It's a brain bug I haven't been able to shake. Highly recommend. jacobinmag.com/2018/07/electo
